Oh ho.
You didn't mention it had skip count in my thread! This has interested me much more now
Unfortunately it's 11.25 at night here, so it will have to wait until tomorrow if I can find some time to see what can be done here.
(as an aside: I wish I could find an android player that does album shuffle...)

I'm considering integrating PlayerPro play count support into my SyncBackRatings script.
ahh, i do love the MM forum alerts! they arrive once or twice a year and still we have no progress on this....
I gave up in the end. The PlayerPro Dev put the bits in that we need and these are stored in an xml file on the phone. What is the script you have? i'm not familiar with it. Please tell me this will read the xml from playerpro and move the playcounts and skips back to MM (please, please!)

PlayerPro can export in iTunes or Songbird (well, in fact the RatingFile add-on) format. But in iTunes format it is necessary to do an import first, otherwise the export is always empty. There is no TrackID in Songbird format as there is no import from MM.
As you may have seen, my Sync Back Ratings script uses Songbird format, mainly because no import is needed from MM.
Are there any plans from the MM devs to implement better android syncing? More specifically keeping tracking of podcast/audiobook play counts among multiple players. I don't like player pro, and I find mortplayer audiobook a much better tool.
i've completely given up on this. MM devs said they would implement it and never did. the half baked solution with player pro/import script just never seems to work for me. I've spent far too long attempting to get this to work, and to make matters worse player pro now has AVRCP1.3 support, which has completely broken last.fm scrobbling... so now i've gone backwards...
I really don't get why people don't think having decent music sync isn't important.

not exactly, some school kid is trying to write it and says:
Ok, so first the disappointing news, of course as soon as I started planning this application I got swamped by schoolwork and regular work, so there is actually very little done on the project. I still have a lot to learn about Android development itself. So I wholeheartedly apologize if I got anyone's hopes up, etc. I got in way too far over my head and while I don't plan on not doing this it is certainly not going to be done anytime soon. This summer I plan on at least getting some alpha stuff working but then in the fall I'll be starting my first year at the University of Guelph for Software Engineering so we'll see how much I get done. Again I'm deeply sorry if I mislead anyone in my abilities, or the progress of this application

You could send me your debug log to find out what's going wrong in your case (as I suggested earlier). It can easily be activated in version 1.5 via options. Moreover it can import play stats from MM to PlayerPro now.
Apart from that I totally agree that it's a not very elegant workaround and that the official Android app with fully automatic synchronisation is awaited eagerly.
unless of course you are talking about an official app?
