Erland, several ideas for you to investigate :

The advantage of using MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID (when it exists) is that
there would be one unique play_count for all identical tracks files
even if the same file exists in different albums. Thyat's what is
expected, isn't it ? If the same track exists on 3 albums, you don't
want to have 3 count. in the end, what you want is to know how many
time the same track was played in total.

Also, Don't you think that if trackstat was able to backup its data in
the mp3/flac directories, it would be easier to manage as a
backup/restore ? Just like some people use CUE files and keep them
along with the music itself, having the backup in the same directory
would ensure the stats are kept with the music in all occasion.

Another suggestion would be to implement an option to restore data by
adding up the stats instead of overwriting (ref. my other post). With
that option, someone who gets its stats cleared up and don't notice
right away, can use an old backup to add the old data without loosing
the new ones.

Indeed, I notice that when I retag with Musicbrainz (because tags gets
corrected over time), I loose the stats that goes along .
