It writes ratings to the file, but not play count. I don't believe any player does that.
- watersb 5y agoOops. It's been a long time... Ratings (5 stars!!), not play count. Thanks!
- iggldiggl 5y agoDoes it? My personal experience is that both play count and ratings are only stored inside the iTunes database and not inside the media files, too. (And a cursory search does indeed bring up various people searching for workarounds to that in order to transfer the rating from iTunes to some different software…)
