It is stored in Banshee's database, and possibly in the song as well, if you had the "Write play counts and ratings to files" option set in the Preferences. However, resetting PlayCount to 0 in Banshee's database is enough to make Banshee believe that nothing has been played before, as long as you don't ask Banshee to re-scan the collection. See option #2 below for an easy way to do this. > > I've got over 3000 songs so, the idea below seems like it would take > a lot of effort.... > > I do appreciate all of the effort, though... To summarize, there are two feasible options proposed: 1. Create a smart playlist with the limit parameter, limiting the size of the playlist to approximately 100, sorted by "Least recently played" or otherwise "Least often played" 2. Clear play counts in Banshee's database, requires one terminal command, with Banshee not running. $ sqlite ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db "update CoreTracks set PlayCount=0" Both of of the options highlighted here are very simple to carry out, and shouldn't take more than a minute. Now, what effort are you talking about? ;-) -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin
