BTW, the official component loses playcount data even if you move or rename files using foobar2000 — this is a bug.

The official foo_playcount was never designed to track item path changes.

Hello, is  there any chance to get rid of the progressbar when updating play_counter tags? Also the pause when first tagging a file is very annoying. Thanks.

While (if?) this component is being updated, I think it would be a good idea to add PLAY_STAMP functionality, creating a multi-value field called PLAY_STAMP that (optionally, of course!) added a timestamp value to a track every time it is played.  The new file properties dialog box is designed in such a way that this wouldn't clutter things up at all, and this data could be useful (e.g., in my hotness code  )

I've also been working on a mini-sdk (which i'll release in couple of days) that allows other components to easily set their own fields using foo_custominfo. And i hope that components like foo_playcount would some day add an option for this. The sdk also has an interface for implementing other methods for storing the information, in case someone wants to export the info to MySQL or something. Right now there is only the fb2k config storage, but i'll add support for sqlite database, which will be compatible with Quicktag SQL.

People, migrate to the official one.
You can easily move PLAY_COUNTER to PLAY_COUNT field and it will work.

That is good news.  My question is can the %last_played% from the unofficial be easily migrated to the corresponding field in the official.  Do both components store the data for %last_played% in the same way when stored in file tags?

$if(%play_count%,
%play_count%'x'
$get_global(standard_color_low)' total',

$if(%play_counter%,
%play_counter%'x'
$get_global(standard_color_low)' total')

)

$if(%first_played_timestamp%,

$add(
$sub($get_global(system_d-2000),
// 2191 - days from millenium to 2006-01-01
$add(2191,
$div(
$sub(%first_played_timestamp%,
// next string is 2006-01-01
          127805328000000000),
// 864000000000 is number points in one day
864000000000)
)
),
1),


// calculate firstplayed-days since millenium
$if(%first_played%,
$puts(first_played,%first_played%)
$puts(firstplayed_d-2000,$add(
$mul($substr($get(first_played),3,4),365),
$select($substr($get(first_played),6,7),0,31,59,90,120,151,181,212,243,273,304,334),
$substr($get(first_played),9,10)))
// calculate days since first play
$puts(days_since_first_play,$max(0,$sub($get_global(system_d-2000),$get(firstplayed_d-2000))))

// age
$add($get(days_since_first_play),1)
$get_global(standard_color_low)' days'

)
)

Where is the config etc etc?
