A lot of music lovers use libre fm or last fm to scrobble their played tracks and in some cases, it is the best resource for music statistics available. Partly because a lot of people doesn't only listen to music through Amarok. There are also lots of phones out there which are being used as modern walkmans, that also scrobbles mostly to last fm. Using such a device makes the play counts in last fm become obsolete.

However, as of now, Amarok lacks any simple way of syncing its database based on statistics from preferred scrobbling service. The only attempt so far for Amarok 2.x is Klastfm (as found here), but it is notoriously diffcult to use for regular users and also rarely updated.

What Amarok needs is a built in, simple-to-use feature to sync play count statistics with libre fm or last fm. This feature would not only make the Amarok-database much more relevant in terms of play statistics, it would be a big relief as it makes corrupted databases less of a problem. Since you can already store ratings and playcounts in music-file metadata in Amarok, it would make it a no-brainer to restore a corrupted database.

It is also a possibility for Amarok to stand out a bit from the music-manager crowd. There are only two music-managers that can do this as far as I know: MusicBee, but it doesn't save play counts in metadata tags, and Songbird, through a seperate add-on.

In my opinion, this is probably the only feature that's really lacking in Amarok. It would mean a lot if this got implemented in any future version.

That would be similar to this wish then: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214775
