Maually add Play Count to a song on iTunes
I’ve noticed a lot of Applescripts floating around for the Mac version of iTunes and I thought I would post on how to edit the play count on the Windows version of iTunes. Download the file from the link and rename it to “play count.wsf.” . To execute it have iTunes open and the song or songs selected that you want to edit the play count, double click on the script in Windows Explorer. It will prompt you for a number (note: this will add to the play count. It requires some math and thinking but it shouldn’t be too hard. 
If you want to subtract from the current play count, just add a “-” sign before the number.) and then you just press enter. It will display a dialog box saying that it has successfully added the play count to your song(s). Enjoy! Note: to download the file right click and select “save target as”

Thanks a lot. I’ve been searching for hours and it seems the only info for this doing this is 2 years old.
Also you can change parts of the script however you like to fit your specific needs.
I followed your instructions but when I run the script, an error pops up saying something like “unrecognized marker in Line 2, character 2″. Does this script work with iTunes 7? maybe Im doing something wrong. Any help?
Ok, its me again. I should let you know that if you right click on the download link then choose “Save As” to get the script, the file that downloads doesn’t work. Gives me the error I mentioned above (unrecognized marker, line 2). But then I left clicked on the download link and got the script on my screen, copy/pasted it to notepad, saved it, ran it, and it worked like a charm.
So, in short, the file you get by right clicking and choosing “Save as” is not the one that works somehow.
Thank you for a great script tho. Awesome work.
Thank you for the information. Glad you were able to figure it out on your own.
What if you already have your songs? My plays all just got erased and i want to start at a higher number. So how do I get more if the songs are in iTunes? [I can get them in the files too
]
Wait help. I get it now but where do I write?
OKAY i got it! Thank you sooo much!
i got it, its a little confusing though. this is what happened for me. I right clicked and saved it as “play count.wsf” although it did not save as a .wsf file. it saved as a txt file. so when i ran it, it opened up a txt file in notepad. after about an hour i decided to save the file as just “.wsf” not “play count.wsf”, this worked perfectly. later i renamed the file, but now my play count is at 89483476, rofl.
