How do we reset the play count in iTunes 12.6

Once again, this has disappeared. The new 12.6 does't show "reset play count" when right-clicking on a highlighted item. How do we do this now?

Running iTunes 12.7 now. Select the individual song (or all songs, works the same) and right-click to get the menu. Select "Song Info" and towards the bottom right click on "Reset"...and voila! This works on individual songs or multiple highlighted selections.

Hi there, the thought of having to reset over 3000 songs was too much, but I decided to try the right click option. And yeah it worked !

So, start by "select all", then right click and go to "song info". Now this will be blank because it is for all songs, so, just go to "reset" and click, then whiz bang a window comes up, showing all the songs, about three seconds later, it is all done.

This is for iTunes 12.7. 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 the " ... " of one of the selected songs . Click and select "Get Info" or "Song Info" if you only have one song selected. Near the bottom you will find a beautiful sight. "play count -" with a "Reset" button. Bingo!!!

In 12.7 of iTunes


  1. Open your song library list.
  2. From the "EDIT" tab, do a "select all" so that all of your songs in your library are highlighted in blue.
  3. Again from the "EDIT" tab, select "song info," and a pop up window will occur.
  4. Down towards the bottom of the pop up window, you will see a "play count" line. To the right of it you will see a "reset" button.
  5. Hit the reset button and the play counters for all of your library will be reset to zero.
