Keeping track of playcounts
Playtimes are kept in a file called star.p
along with whether a track is marked as loved. Tracks are uniquely identified by a matching filename, artist and track title.
Therefore in order to keep track of these, you must not change the filename outside of functions provided by Tauon Music Box. (You can use the Reload Metadata
function to update tag information provided the filename has not changed)
Feature: If you do lose the playtimes of an album, you can try getting them back by using the
Vacuum Playtimes
feature available from the folder title context menu while holding Shift. This function will take playtimes of any matching track in the database while ignoring the filename.
Tip: If you're moving installation and want to keep playtimes, just make sure to copy the
star.p
file from the old program data folder to the new one.
Backups: Currently, the
star.p
file is duplicated monthly asstar.p.backup12
where the number is the month of the year. This is so you can restore a backup in the unlikely case the mainstar.p
file becomes corrupted.
