have you heard playcount sky rocketing ??

Every time I connect my iPod Touch to my computer, the play count increases by a lot. I reset them yesterday, listened to a song ONCE, plugged it in, and it said I had listened to it 554 times.

Does anybody know what the problem could be, and how I can fix it? This is really urgent.

hope you can make a script to fix this

thank you so much for this, it worked perfectly!
i have a large collection of music with a lot of greatest hits albums creating plenty of duplicates, and i would rather have the playcounts attributed to the original album rather than the compilation. this helped me edit everything (well, almost everything, i have plenty to go through yet)
thanks again!

To save as a .vbs file, type the filename in double quotes:
“SetPlayCount.vbs”
Then click save

iTSfv ( http://code.google.com/p/itsfv/ ) can do this as well. Among many other very good features, like last.fm reverse scrobbling. Windows only, sadly.
