Hi,
The best way to determine if there is such feature on X1 is to do clean device (I know pain in the ...) -> sync one smaller track -> Backup whole device content -> Play track -> Backup whole content again -> Compress both contents into single archive (separate folders BEFORE/AFTER for easier comparison) -> Open support ticket -> Upload to cloud -> Supply Download link in Ticket -> let us analyze and see if X1 changes something on device after play.

NOTE: that is only possible if you see that on device you can see play counts.

I've managed to work out how to sync my new FiiO X1 from MM to the device, but it doesn't give track last played date and play counts when synching back into MM.

My old iPod Classic finally bit the dust and I'm loving the FiiO, but shame I can't get it talk to MM properly.

Any ideas?

Thanks
