If the iPhone/iPod is synced with iTunes (e.g. for Calendar synchronization), then iTunes

resets the Playcount / Last Played information on each sync even if iTunes isn't being 

used to sync the music library.  Thus, when the device is synced with MediaMonkey, 

Last Played / Playcount information will not be synced since it has been reset.



Possible workarounds are:

1) Sync with MediaMonkey prior to syncing with iTunes

2) Use over the air synchronization instead (e.g. Sync the Calendar / Contacts / Mail via 

    the iPhone's Exchange Server sync mechanism) so that iTunes is not required
