Manually update play count for songs in iTunes

readme.md

Update iTunes Play Count

Save the AppleScript file to /Users/{username}/Library/iTunes/Scripts as Change iTunes Count.scpt.

In iTunes a new menu item, the script icon, will appear. With one or more song selected, click Change iTunes Count and type in the updated play count for each song.

This still a very manual process, which could definitely be scripted to be faster. However, for fear of losing all plays; I'm using this one song at a time (it does support loopin through multiple songs though).

Change iTunes Count.scpt

tell application "iTunes"
	set sel to selection
	repeat with track in sel
		set trackname to the name of track
		set dialog_answers to display dialog "Enter a new play count for " & trackname & ":" default answer ""
		set newcount to text returned of dialog_answers as integer
		if button returned of dialog_answers is "OK" then
			set played count of t to newcount
		end if
	end repeat
end tell
