Changes · 28th April 2004, 15:19

i want to make a site wit ha list of my mp3's with playcount on it. but i cant find the database / file where the playcounts are saved?

so where are those playcounts saved ?

and is it possible to get that in a site with php or not?..

What, a webpage? Damn, public PC without Winamp, see if there's any .ini files in the Winamp folder with it in. If not, use a big fat screenshot. Idiot's way, I know, but I'm an idiot o_0

Look in the c;/program files/winamp/plugins/ml folder

Values you are looking for are more than likely contained in the metadata files kept in there, good luck in extracting it.

ML Import-Export

Exports to an iTunes-compatible xml file. You'll have to use a script or other processing device to parse out the playcounts, but if you use asp or php that shouldn't be too difficult.

lol it is in a xml file right now

I've gotcha covered

This is an iTunes xml parser I found on HotScripts. Here's the original source. My attached version supports playcounts.
http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/22062.html

It's written by iMike(of deskmod/modblog fame), and although it didn't support playcounts out of the box, I just hacked them in. ALL CREDIT should go to iMike, my edits took 5 mins and I wouldn't have been able to do this without his work.

or do i ask to much now?

thnx to you

De nada, I might use it myself someday

I'll have to play a bit to understand how to sort, but I'm reasonably sure there's a way. I'm at work now, so I don't have the time to get into that, but if I find the time, I'll see what I can do.
