Most mp3 players, iPods and music software count how many times you have played a song. So no lying or cheating what's the most played song on yours?

Mine is Aeroplane by the red hot chili peppers.

I've just checked iTunes and in the lead is Metallica's Unforgiven, which is odd as it's nowhere near my favourite track.

Something's not right with the count though as it says I've played it just 29 times. I've been using iTunes for about 7 years, so it should be way higher than that for some tracks.

Don't use iTunes for playing, only for loading my iPod. Can't find any function on my iPod to tell me which song has been played the most.

I suspect it's 'Jump' by Van Halen.

iTunes should upload your playcount whenever you sync your iPod.

iTunes only knows you've played a track if you listen to it right till the end. If you skip the last 2 seconds of a song it thinks you didn't play it.

I do a lot of skipping between tracks so that would explain it.
