Topic: How to 'Reset Play Count' ??

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

the playcount has collected info from about October 2007 for me, i've made filter folders to show the top 100 tunes in the past 40 days, but sometimes i just want a song to dissapear off the list cause its a novelty track, and it gets higher and higher in the list...

So how do i remove the play count for a given track, or change it to Zero ??

help.

[bump]

i was thinking about this, then remembered that i already asked this question.

there are songs that wont go away, just cause i stop playing them for a few weeks, then i play it during a warm up and then its stuck in my top 40 for another 40 days!!!


is the only way of ZERO'ing the playcount to edit the database file??
Isnt this a bit dangerous? one wrong edit and the file is corrupt!!

Why not just add to the Genre the category Novelty then change your filter to include " and Genre!=Novelty" ?


There is not a way to 'clear' the PlayCount without going into the database used a back door.

ah, so in filter folders, how do i NOT include a specific genre?

ie, if i can put a DONOTPLAY tag (in genre), i can hide songs from the list...

lmao. its easyer than i thought

days since lastplay<40 and genre<>"DONOTPLAY"

thats what i have.

Then if i want to bring the track back, i just remove the words from genre.
I dont use genre anyway, so i can have any words there that i want.

i really should experiment until i break it, before i ask questions. lol

oh right...

they dont come back to the list if i remove the text from genre!!
this is what i have for my filter...

top 100 nbplay and isscanned=1 and days since lastplay<40 and genre<>"DONOTPLAY"

am i doing it right?
should i use <> to specify a NOT condition?
if i use and not genre="DONOTPLAY" i get syntax error

has anybody used filterfolders? can you help??

when you start doing complex statements it is best to use paranthesis to separate the statements. Copy this into your filter


(isscanned=1)and (genre<>DONOTPLAY)and (days since lastplay<40)and (top 100 nbplay)

Do not change what I have - just copy paste.

Also, sometimes the order of the logic can help as well. Also, you do not need the quotes around DONOTPLAY if it is all scrunched together like that. Also to answer your other statement... if you edit the files genre while you are viewing the Filter folder, then you need to click on the filter folder to refresh the filtered values. That is why you may not have seen a modified file disappear immediately.

that worked for me. (thanks Cstoll)

and for the songs not coming back after removing the DONOTPLAY, just deleting the text dont work, so i put a space and it worked.



Happy Days. :d
