Where is play count and watched/unwatched data stored?

Where is play count and watched/unwatched data stored?

Is it on file or somewhere else?

I don't know where play count is stored, but, when using list view for songs


Go to menue toolbar item 'View' - on the drop down list that appears choose 'View Options...'


In the window that opens up check the box next to Play Count


now iTunes will keep track of how many times you play each song.


But, if you follow the same menue path while movies are in list view mode, the play count option does not appear to exist for movies, although date last played is an option.


If you don't check the box in view options, I don't think iTunes will keep track of song play count. The only data from past use of any individual item iTunes can show is probably limited to that items' metadata that you can see using the 'get info' option for any selected item.
