How do I reset plays in iTunes 12.4

YEEAaaa!! I finally found the answer on my own. Can't believe it. So simple once you know the secret handshake.

Select all the songs you want to reset. Put your cursor on one of the selected songs. Hold your control key. Click and select "Get Info". Near the bottom you will find a beautiful sight. "play count -" with a "Reset" button. Bingo.

I just spoke to Apple Care. Reset Plays has been removed! She said they're aware people are upset about that and may bring it back in the next update. I hate to sound like a conspiracy nut, but lately it seems that they're purposely getting rid of the stuff that made it easy to manage large music libraries to push people to streaming. Turingtest2 came up with a work around Applescript: http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp#LastPlayedNever

You highlight the songs you want to reset and then click on the script

Yup, that's how it worked for me when I tried it! The link to the Applescripts has instructions on the top of the page too.

Seriously! *** apple why do you do this stuff all the time? Since your shuffle ***** and will repeat songs I create a playlist based on song play count and once its gone through all of them I reset the plays and start over so I never hear the same song twice. Now I have to run a script each time. Why does Apple continually take away features that people use?

That's exactly how I use the reset plays! Hopefully they'll bring it back...
