If I use MMW as a server, then MMW updates the library with every play. (And scrobbles.) This isn't ideal, simply because the server could be accessed by multiple clients. It's possible to write a plugin for the NAS that would scrobble, and another that could update all plays back to the MMW library, but I don't think the server is the correct location for that activity.
In my case, MMW is not always available, but the NAS is. In fact, I ran into that just this morning: the computer was asleep, the NAS was not. I was upstairs working out, listening to last.fm. They played something I wanted to hear more of, so I browsed to the NAS and played what I wanted. But those plays didn't make it into the library.
(Actually, they did, but that was because I later scrobbled the plays using cog_scrobbler, imported the plays from last.fm, and then manually added plays for the case where the last.fm info didn't exactly match the library info.)
So, that's what I want: MMA should track its local play history and sync plays backs. MMA should scrobble. And if MMA is playing from the MMW server, there should only be one playcount increase and one scrobble per play.
And none of that has anything to do with the selection problem I originally reported.
