ZStats tool to process [Play History] statistics, generate TOP N playlists
zybex:
Would you be willing to send me yesterday's backup of your DB, that would still have this data?
EnglishTiger:
I'll upload it to my Website tomorrow morning and PM you a link that will allow you to download it.
N.B the Album & Artist Starts data contained in the library may not be the same as in the screenie as I'd run ZStats today before I saw that odd looking data.

zybex:
Thank you for the backup.
It looks like ZStats numbers are correct. This backup from last Sunday has a total of 1460 recorded plays, 23 of which from Status Quo, all with History timestamps. Presumably you played an additional 2 Status Quo tracks before running ZStats for your screenshot.
The highlighted track on the screenshot below has the following stats:
- [Number Plays] = 1
- [Play History] has 1 value (45253 = 23.11.2023)
- [Play Stats] shows 1 total play for this track (first number), matching [Number Plays]
- [Album Stats] shows 1 play for "Piledriver" (first number) - on your screenshot, you have another track played on the Piledriver Album ("Paper Plane"), thus making this stat=2 on your run
- [Artist Stats] shows 23 plays for "Status Quo" (first number) - you presumably played 2 more, raising this to 25 when you ran ZStats.
Note that your [Play History] seems to have data since 19.11.2023, so ZStats is counting all plays since that date. It shows 1460 plays, where your screenshot is already at 1626.

zybex thanks for all your work - I must have not made sure that I cleared every relevant field when setting the back to never being played before ruuning ZStata witth the creation/generation of PreHistory enabled.
Now that I'm restarting with all the relevant fields being empty and I've told ZStats not to calculate/generate any PreHistory it looks like I can now use the Album & Artist Stats to create some "Most Popular Artist" and "Most Popular Album" views or smartlists.

zybex - I've recently encountered one or two problems that were being caused by MC being in Error Free Mode, i.e. Find & Replace not reporting how many changes it had made. So I've been keeping a careful eye on MC to see if I could spot what is switching MC into Error Free Mode despite me not wanting it to happen and unfortunately it looks like running ZStats is causing MC to switch into Error Free Mode.
