Update 'Last Played Date' for skipped iTunes tracks
I often skip the last few minutes of songs (mainly because I listen to 7-10 minute long versions), but even if I don't I might find myself skipping to the next track when there's less than half a minute left. As a result, I want iTunes to update not only the last played date, but also the play count. I use Salling Clicker to control iTunes from my Erricsson T68i phone, but this could easily be hotkeyed through Butler.
Wouldn't it be nice if iTunes automatically updated the play count if, let's say, 2/3 or 3/4 of the song was played, instead of only updating it after the song ends?
Update 'Last Played Date' for skipped iTunes tracks
You can set the play count (at least in the latest version of iTunes!). I had to modify the submitted script a little so that my smart playlist would continue playing after the current track dropped off the list:

Update 'Last Played Date' for skipped iTunes tracks
I have it on good authority that Doug of "Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes" is planning on adding a section to the site for just this kind of little script that is handy when assigned a keyboard shortcut. I'd definitely recommend that you send him this script to be added to the new section since it's a site specifially dedicated to these kinds of things and people looking for this type of thing would probably be more likely to look there than here.
I'd do it myself but I don't want to steal other's work ;-)
Update 'Last Played Date' for skipped iTunes tracks
Yes, but I have it linked to a button on my phone. This means that I'm listening to my special playlist (or party shuffle playlist, same thing) so I WANT the song to finish playing so that it's removed from the playlist, not just updating the count.

I use iMote for skipping songs and found you can still use this script code with it. Show the package contents of iMote then nav to Contents>MacOS>Resources and open the goToNextTrack.scpt file in a text editor. Paste the above code and save. Thanks for this script!
