Play counts and "Last Played" not updating on short songs?

It looks like a lot of people have had trouble with play counts not updating with crossfade turned on. I've never used crossfade, so this doesn't bother me. However, I do have a plethora of very short tracks in my library (owing to there being many video game soundtracks with short fanfares as tracks), and I've noticed that when playing any song that's 10 seconds or less, it will show up in the "History" tab of "Up Next", but "Plays" and "Last Played" remain the same. Any other song in my library, whether it's 11 seconds long like "Got a Star Piece (part 1)" from "Super Mario RPG" by Yoko Shimomura or 11 minutes long like "I Am" from "As the World Bleeds" by Theocracy, will update its play count properly when played. Why is 10 seconds enough time to play a song and add it to my history, but not enough time to update when I last played it and make it appear in the smart playlist of recently played songs? Is iTunes 11 so obsessed with 11 that if a song isn't 11 seconds long, it doesn't consider it to be worth tracking?

I am having this exact same issue in iTunes 11 running on OSX 10.6.8.
Short tracks (less than 10sec) do not update their metadata to increase the play count. However if I play a short track on my iPod or iPhone and then sync with iTunes the play count and last played info is updated.
This really messes up my smart playlists that use playcount limiters.
I hope there is a fix for this soon.

  • ITunes Play Count and Last Played not updating?

    Hi All,
    I have an IPOD shuffle 1GB 2nd gen, I'm using the latest ITunes 7.7.1.11, I have Windows XP SP3 intalled. On Aug 14th for some reason that was the last time ITunes Play Count and Last Played columns updated in ITunes. I listen to and recharge my shuffle everyday. When I hook my IPOD to the base it is recognized and ITunes opens and says it's syncing, then after about 30 seconds it says sync is complete, ok to disconnect, the flashing orange light goes green & everything seems correct except those 2 columns don't get updated, does anyone know how to make ITunes start updating that information again?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Steve

    Hi Paul,
    Just downloaded and installed iTunes 8.0. I played a few songs on my shuffle and synced it again, the problem remains the same, the last played & play count do not change. I wonder what happened on Aug 14th because thats the last time it worked.
    Thank you again,
    Steve

  • Play counts and last played not registered

    When syncing my iPod after the past few days, I was worried when last.fm (music listening tracker for those who don't know it) told me I had no plays to sync with their server. Usually, this means that there was a handshake error with iTunes but I always double check. So I did.
    When I looked, all the music from the past few days had no sign that I listened to it at all. No change in play counts, and last played match when I last listened to them on my computer (for many it's never). This is a syncing iPod that works by playlists, which prior to now had no problem syncing play counts at all but only gained this issue recently, with no changes to my settings at all since the last time this was done successfully.
    Troubleshooting?

  • Help, Library corrupted, need to save ratings, play counts, and last played

    Help, my iTunes lost its connection to my media server yesterday and it seems to have totally corrupted the library. I have all my music files intact, but if I recreate the library by starting afresh, I will lose 6 years worth of ratings, play counts, and last played dates. I do not want to lose this information. I have the information in an library export.
    How can I add back the music and restore the metadata??

  • Importing music library removes "play count" and "last played" information

    I recently updated my music drive and had to edit the iTunes Music Library XML file to reflect this. However, I've tried several times to import the edited file and each time iTunes throws out the "play count" and "last played" fields for each track. Not only that, it rewrites the entire XML file without them.
    How can I retain this data?

    Updating all the songs is impossible,
    But you want to update the same songs over and over?
    i have more than 30gb on my pc, and also i dont like carrying some unnessesary song with me all the time.
    So don't put all the songs on your iPod.
    Just put the ones you want. You can select to auto update only selected playlists.
    Taggs on my computer and ipod are different because it's more useful this way..
    That way if you have to reload the songs, you have to "update" everything again.
    I don't understand how it's "more useful". It's certainly not more convenient.
    Since you are already in iTunes, why not make it simple and update everything only one time?
    I mean, you can do it any way you want but is is so much easier to do it only one time.
    The iPod/iTunes were designed for simple and ease of use. You shouldn't have constantly put a bunch of work into just maintaining everything.

  • Lost my ratings, play count and last played

    HI, I recently moved my library off my macbook and onto an external drive to save space. Somehow I lost all my ratings, play count and last played info. My Ipod still shows the ratings, however. Is there any way I can get itunes to import the information off my ipod? Thanks for any advice.

    Can you put things back the way they were before you moved them to the external? If you can, then you can easily move it to the external by copying the entire iTunes folder to the external and opening from the new location using these instructions...

  • HT4972 Why Pages and numbers are not updating.

    My pages and numbers are not updating for about a week now Why?

    Some one else had a similar problem last night...same as yours. He claimed that Pages had been stuck trying to update for about week. I posted this and he said that it worked - which part he did not say - but give these things a try.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to resume the download.
    If you have all of your Pages files backed up in iTunes or on your Mac, this might be the answer. Try deleting the waiting icon - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    I have deleted Pages a couple of times when I had issues with it and then reinstalled it. I even deleted a stalled Pages once and then tried the update successfully again after that. My files are always backed up in iTunes and on my Mac so I had no apprehension about deleting the waiting download.

  • [SOLVED] krunner and kfilemetadata5 still not updated to kf5.7

    Hi!
    I'm wondering why krunner and kfilemetadata5 were not updated to latest kf 5.7 version. I have:
    kfilemetadata5 5.6.0-1
    krunner 5.6.0-3
    In fact, krunner is not working anymore since I upgraded some days ago.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!

    Hey there rmflint,
    It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

  • I have a ipad 3 with ios 5.1.1 and it will not update to ios 7. I keep getting a software failed message and the download takes 13 hours and stops half way through. Any help?

    I have an ipad 3rd gen with ios 5.1.1 and I can not update it to ios 7. It will take 13hours and when I try it stalls out halfway through and says software update failed. I have tried everything. Any help?

    it actually needs more space than that.  The file size is your 65 mb is probably the ota incremental file size.  The full package is 700 mg, and the system needs 3 gig of free space to unpack and install.

  • Job CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and BBP_GET_STATUS_2 does not update SC in SRM With PO

    Hello,
    We are on SRM 5.0 Classic scenario  R3 SAP  ECC 6.0. we recently had a stackupgrade for all our different components.
    Aswe are in a classic scenario we get a prucahse requisition after a shopping cart is approved. The purchaser then creates a purchase order and the program  BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP updates the shopping cart  with the PO information.
    For these 2 programmes we have created one Job. The problem  that we now encounter is that the job doesn't update the Shopping cart with the PO information. Only the purchase reuiqisition is visisble. If i go to transaction BBP_PD for that shopping cart i see Item in transfer process marked red. From  BBP_PD I can run BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and the nthe shopping is updated.
    So to summarize: The jobs (BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP ) do not update the shopping cart but running BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP  manually the Shopping cart is updated.
    The users who running the jobs seem to be ok.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Check this.
    In the backend system, you activate the application SRMNTY in table TBE11 using transaction FIBF so that the purchase order follow-on data is transferred from the SAP backend to the SRM system. In this way, the SRM system is notified when follow-on documents are created in the backend system.
    Check teh variant, Check if the Backend system has been changed, Run BDLS if changed
    regards,
    MRao
