That was a great idea, thanks. Unfortunately, it didn't work. But, I appreciate the suggestion.

In the Option for the device, at Auto-sync you can un-check 'Auto sync files from device to PC'. Shouldn't this do the trick?

I'm not sure about it, as my device doesn't support playcounts.

Cheers

Not that I know of, unless you can wipe playcounts of device prior to sync.

Is there a way to intentionally not update play counts for a specific device?

Basically, I want to keep using MM to synch my daughter's iPod. But I really don't want to have the DB updated with the near infinite plays of the New Moon soundtrack.
