play count going blank

Same here - random songs (some whole albums) have a zero play, even though it shows Last Played. Screen won't fit properly - can't find to add a new playlist.

Regarding the "zero play count" and/or "last played not updating" see the instructions posted on this thread by GregMac1213 on Jan 20, 2013 -- that fixed the problem for me and it was been working fine since then.
