Plays counter mysteriously increased

Hi,

Personally I don't pay much attention to the plays counter and I wish there were a feature to kill it from the info display (without hacking up the player exe), but I spotted something that no one seems to have reported.

I just loaded a new album onto my Empeg (2.0-b11+hijack) and some of the tracks already had a Plays value of 2, even though this was the first time this album had *ever* been uploaded to my empeg (freshly ripped). Some others had 1.

I know this is kinda vague, but I thought I best report it anyway

This was mentioned elsewhere on the BBS recently. I think the "Plays" counter is left over from a previous FID. See, the FIDs get re-used after you delete a song or playlist...

Any of the Empeg guys want to comment on this one? Isn't this on the internal bug list already as "fixed" or something?

This happens to me alot.....I blame midgets sneaking into my house and using my Empeg. I need a Hormel Summer Sausage to protect myself from the little bastards. I hate midgets.....and clowns.

Well, then this should make your head explode:

I am going to train an army of squirrels to come by your house everyday and hump your newspaper while it sits out on your lawn......

Sunday morning at tfabris's house:

'I think i'll read the paper'
"Paperboy must chew gum......the paper is all sticky....gotta talk to him about that'

I am going to train an army of squirrels to come by your house everyday and hump your newspaper while it sits out on your lawn......

Wow, this discussion of the plays counter has certainly taken a turn for the worse!

Not to worry, I don't have a paper delivered.

Okay, I was just expressing my amazement at what appears to be a new record low number of posts before a thread veered off topic. Usually it takes at least six or seven, this one appears to have done it in four. Great work fellas!

Oh, come on, I've seen threads go off topic in one post. Don't have a link handy, though...

Yah but they usually come back on topic at some point if they veer off that early... This one's doomed!

Now it's on topic (but only because I changed the subject line).

"I am going to train an army of squirrels to come by your house everyday and hump your newspaper while it sits out on your lawn......"

Can I be a general?

My god. You mean it's not in the FAQ?!

I WOULD get a paper delivered (there is always a back-up plan).

2 months from now on a bright sunny day......

Tony: "Honey, I'm off to work...'

Wife: "Dont forget to pick up some bread on your way home..."

Tony: " okay...'

*opens door*

Tony: " awwww....look at the cute little squ....HEY, GET OFF MY LEG! STOP THAT! AHHHHHH, DEAR JESUS! DAMN!...

Trust me.....get a paper......

Guess I better stock up on extra pairs of slacks, then, 'cause they don't deliver the paper to where I live.

some of the tracks already had a Plays value of 2

Can anyone confirm that Beta 13 still does this? I can't get it to happen now.

I can't confirm that bug specifically Peter, but I can confirm that I've had tracks registered at 0 played when I know for a fact that they have played atleast once.
