Hi,
is it somehow possible to read and write playcounts into music files by IDV3-Tags?
Thx

Not using Kodi. There may be some other media players that do that, but Kodi keeps playcount internally and does not modify your music file tags.

Thak you for the clear answer, DaveBlake!
Banshee is doing the job very well. Payer Pro (Android) writes ratings, but it seems, there is no Android player which writes play counts. Banshee needs a personal computer to run. But I would like a server/media center solution... with all other benefits, like remote control by android apps, display the current music on TV screen.... That's why I installed Kodi. Its very comfortable, looks nice and is doing the job -- except writing play counts and ratings.
I testest Ampache. This media server is writing some Informations into ID3 frames -- except play counts and ratings.
Does anybody know a media server (which Kodi could use as a client) that supports writing of ratings and/or play counts?

I don't know the answer, but with theaudiodb.com I store ratings for every user on the database which is accessible from the api.
If you register and go through each track and rate them on the website then at some point in the future it may be possible to sync those ratings with Kodi (thats the idea anyway).
The API can also submit ratings from kodi, but no-body has written an Add-on to do that yet.
The end game is to have cloud backed up ratings, like Trakt.
