Why does my iTunes play count indicate certain tracks have been listened to hundreds of times when I've only played them a few times? My iTunes play count is indicating that I have played certain tracks hundreds of times which is incorrect as I have only played these tracks 10 or 15 times. It also seems to have done so only with one or two artists and on a couple occassions where they have recorded the same song. Why does this happen and can it be corrected?
Playcounts are embedded persistently in the media files.
When you share audio files, you also share their play count.
