iTunes 7 Skipped Track does not increment

  1. Paul Turnbull

    When I use Synergy to skip a track the new skipped track fields do not update in iTunes 7.

    Well, seeing as "Skip Count" has only been public for a day or so, I can understand why it's not supported yet...

    Strange, I would have expected iTunes to handle that automatically. Synergy is sending a "next track" Apple Event, so you'd expect iTunes to automatically increment the counter.

    Actually, I'm not sure what the counter is supposed to mean at all... in my tests when I skip tracks from within iTunes (when Synergy is not even running) the counter does not update. This when playing in the main library, shuffle turned off.

    Anyone know what I have to do to get it to update? When is it supposed to update?

    I just did some testing and for me using the forward button will cause the skip count to increment if I have not manually moved forward in the song.

    It does seem odd that a next track apple event does not cause the counter to increment.

    I think there is confusion as to what skipped means.

    When I am in the Party Shuffle playlist and I skip forward (even through Synergy) the skipped count updates if the song has only been playing for about 10 seconds but, not if I'm half way through. Also, if I skip backwards and then forward again the count does not increment.

    Unfortunately I do not know what the rules are but I suspect they are a lot more complicated than "every time you skip forward".
