Play count in album view itunes 11?

I was wondering if there was a way to show your play count in album or artist view? Such as if you click to expand your album, where it says the time of the song is there a way to get it to list the play count too?
I use play count a lot and this would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Sort of works. Albums in a subfolder do not sort correctly with the rest - they show up at the end of the rest, but at least it is better than it was. The problem is that by default the menu bar does not show up and it took a while to figure our how to turn it on.
I think this version may have some advantages once a person gets used to it, but until then.........

Can I view track play counts in album view?

The album view is beautiful in the new iTunes. But it doesn't seem to show play counts for the tracks. Who else wants this feature? Or if it exists, how can I get to it?

Icons can only be viewed on the arrange page.
I'm not sure what space in the mixer you're referring to though. There's the track name, and a little bit of space before the bottom of the fader, but hardly enough to be usable, imo. Or were you talking about somewhere else?

Is it possible to view information such as play count on Artist view in itunes 11?

is it possible to view information such as play count on Artist view in itunes 11?

There is no column view for the artist tab in iTunes 11. The songs are chunked up by album, no option for list view, let alone column chooser. Also, everything under view > column browser is grayed out.

Make sure Preferences, General, View (Edit > Preferences on PC) "Show list checkboxes" isunchecked.
Albums will then play normally then by just clicking them in Songs or Albums views.

Has the play button in album view stopped working?

The play button in album view doesn't work. Hasn't worked for the last two releases. I'm on iTunes 11.1.1. Apple suggested reloading all of my CDs. (Not a viable solution--there are hundreds of them...) They thought it might have something to do with recent changes related to AppleID/iCloud. Also unable to add entire album to up next list. I am able to play from songs view.

Never mind. Found the answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21484039#21484039

IPhone loses play counts when syncing with iTunes

I would like to repeat the question from this thread, which has mistakenly been marked "answered".
When syncing with iTunes, not all play counts are transferred into iTunes. When I turn the iPhone off, it even forgets the complete list of played songs (it is even deleted from iTunes itself).

I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.

Ratings and play counts not synced to iTunes

I just got a 2G iPod nano 2GB. Whenever I add ratings or increase the play count for songs on the iPod and then sync to iTunes, the ratings and play counts are obliterated by whatever iTunes has for its data. Example: I make a 5 star smart playlist in iTunes with Live update, then while listening to iPod I rate some songs with 5 stars. They show up in the playlist on iPod since they have 5 stars, but once I sync with iTunes again, the stars are wiped out and the smart playlist is back to exactly what is was in iTunes.
It seems to me that syncing should take whichever has newer information (iPod or iTunes) and propagate it to the other. I read some topics from others that had this same problem and people have repeatedly stated that Automatic syncing must be enabled and not manually manage music. I don't have room to put all my music on the iPod, but I have enabled automatic syncing with selected playlists. My question is this: does this count as automatic updating for the purposes of ratings and play counts being copied to iTunes when I sync with iPod? Or does automatic sync need to be for the entire library in order for ratings and play counts to be propagated? Thanks!

My question is this: does this count as automatic updating for the purposes of ratings and play counts being copied to iTunes when I sync with iPod?
it should do. green eyes is a second gen nano, i'm syncing selected playlists only, and my play counts and ratings are updating in the smart playlists.
are you playing the songs through completely? i'm noticing that i only get a playcount update if i've completely played the song. (the ratings changes go through regardless of whether or not i've completely played a song on green eyes, though.)

View play count in 'artists' view???

On the new iTunes 11, under 'Artists' viewing pane, it has the rating, play time etc , but is it possible to view the play count in there as well???? Thanks

They've "cleaned up" the display, but made it much harder to view complete albums with art and all other fields of interest. I quite like the new Artists and Albums views for playback and some tasks, but I really miss the Album List view of iTunes 10. The Songs view doesn't really cut it for me.

Playing a single album in iTunes

Is there a way to have iTunes stop playing after an album playlist (.m3u file) is done?
Right now when I click on an .m3u the album starts playing in the iTunes library, and when the album ends iTunes continues on to the next song in the Library. I can understand that when you drag-and-drop an album's files in the Library there is no differentiation between those and the rest of Library's files. But I would think that specifying a single album with the .m3u would let iTunes know that it should play only those files. Sometimes I just want to load an album, listen to it and be on my merry way.
I realize that I could simply put the album in its own iTunes playlist or hit the stop button, but I'm just curious whether this is possible in iTunes. I'm also very lazy.

In iTunes, select Library - Music.
At the top right of iTunes, select one of the first two buttons (List or Grouped with artwork) above View.
Go to menu View -> Show browser.
Use the top 3 boxes above the music to select a genre, artist, album or combination thereof.
To make multiple selections, press the Apple/Command key while clicking.
Press play. The only thing to be played will be the music shown below.

Play Count That Syncs iPod-iTunes

Hey!,Is there a way to have the play count of iTunes sync with the iPod and be able to view on the iPod... and i have a Black 30GB iPod 5th Gen (Video) with version 1.1.1.

Wait, I didn’t understand.
No, you cannot view the playcount with the iPod.
You could set up a smart playlist to show songs with a playcount greater, less than or = to whatever you want but you have to do it in iTunes and you won’t be able to change it on the iPod.

Sync manually managed iPod played count etc with multiple iTunes libraries

I have my music and podcasts spread out in different iTunes libraries. So if I sync items, tracks from another library are deleted from my iPod therefore I manually manage my tracks. The downside is when you connect a manual iPod to iTunes your ratings, played date, count don't get synced with the iTunes Library. So I created a simple applescript that syncs tracks on specified playlists on your iPod with matching ones in iTunes. I realise applescripts exist to do this already but I wanted something which required no user input and simply did what would happen if the iPod was in sync mode.
The applescript:
tell application "iTunes"
    set iPodName to ""
    set syncPlaylists to {"Music", "Podcasts"}
    repeat with syncPlaylist in syncPlaylists
        repeat with i from 1 to count of sources
            if the kind of source i is iPod then
                set iPodName to name of source i as string
                set ipodPlaylistId to (first playlist of source iPodName whose name is syncPlaylist)
            end if
        end repeat
        set musicLibraryId to (first playlist whose name is syncPlaylist)
        --update every track itunes syncPlaylist with data from ipod syncPlaylist
        repeat with ipodPlaylistTracksCounter from 1 to count of tracks of ipodPlaylistId
            set ipodTrack to track ipodPlaylistTracksCounter of ipodPlaylistId
            set ipodTrackData to {name, artist, album, played date, played count, rating} of ipodTrack
            set foundTracksInPlaylist to (every track of musicLibraryId whose ((name is item 1 of ipodTrackData) and (artist is item 2 of ipodTrackData) and (album is item 3 of ipodTrackData)))
            repeat with eachFoundTrackInPlaylist in foundTracksInPlaylist
                --use try blocks in case of missing data
                try
                    set played date of eachFoundTrackInPlaylist to item 4 of ipodTrackData
                end try
                try
                    set played count of eachFoundTrackInPlaylist to item 5 of ipodTrackData
                end try
                try
                    set rating of eachFoundTrackInPlaylist to item 6 of ipodTrackData
                end try
            end repeat
        end repeat
    end repeat
end tell

btw if you don't know how to use applescripts. Open script editor, you'll find it in Applications/Applescript/. Open a new window and copy the code in it and press compile. Save as a script and place in your home folder at ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts, create a Scripts folder if it doesn't exist. Alternatively, save as an application, on opening it will do its magic! Make sure an iPod is mounted in iTunes otherwise an error message will pop up.

How can I import playlists, ratings, and play counts from an old iTunes library into a new one?

After reading countless threads re: how to get the iTunes artwork screensaver to work, I decided to delete my iTunes library file and reimport all of music which resulted in fixing the iTunes artwork screensaver. Unfortunately (and expectedly), my playlists, playcounts, and other information were lost with the creation of a new library. Is there any way to import the playlists, ratings and play counts for my music from an old library file to my current one? I realize this may be complex, but I'm up for the task.
Thanks in advance,
B

I can't begin to describe how frustrating the screensaver issue has been for me (and I suspect countless others, judging by the number of threads on the topic).
I took your advice, though, just to test it. After backing up my current library.itl, I copied and pasted the old .itl file into its place. As expected the playlists, play counts, etc were instantly restored. And now the screensaver fails to work with the dreaded error 'No iTunes artwork found' which makes me think it IS an issue with the old library file. The only work around I've seen so far is to rebuild the library (which I did).
I'm afraid I'm going to be forced into choosing either a working screen saver or all my itunes data. Very frustrating indeed.
Here's a link to the 'definitive' fix for the screensaver, if you're interested.

Seeing year information in album view itunes

wouldn't it be great if i could see the year the album was published in the album view. could be in the background behind the cover art, spreading from album 1...n for that year.

Dutch Apple Fan,
In iTunes 11, "Albums" view is designed for people who like eye candy and pretty pictures. If you actually want to see information, use "Songs" view.
This is a reduction in functionality from iTunes 10, where you could use List view together with Cover Flow, and get both the pictures and the information.

Can playlists and play counts be restored in itunes form my time capsule?

My Macbook pro froze today and when and the force quit menu wasn't showing up so I reset my computer and when I opened itunes it was empty, it looked like I had just downloaded it with all the "helpful" notes everywhere. I was able to restore all the music from my time capsule and I'm wondering if anyone knows if playlists, play counts, can be restored because I have about 1000 podcasts about half listened to and now they all show that they haven't be listened to.

Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

How to show artists on a track, album view - itunes 11

just got itunes 11 and i have my library in album view, when i click on an album a list of songs drops down and underneath each track the artists on the track are displayed; but not for every album. i cant seem to find why but sometimes the artists just arn't shown, how do i make it show?

alice286 wrote:
Thank you so much! Got it sorted!
Another quick qu - what do I do if I have a compilation with each song having a different artist? Can I show the individual artist whilst keeping them all in the same album?
Only in the Album view. Artist view will display them separately unless you have Group by Album Artist turned On. I tend to set the Album Artist (not the individual track artist) as "Various" or XYZ Soundtrack or something similar making grouping them a bit easier.
