The only time my play count goes up is if I play songs in the Zune software. I have played my Zune device a good portion of every day since the update to 3.0 and every time I sync the device the play count does not change.
Play count for software = working
Play count for device = broken

I could see the songs "update" during the sync process, but then they dont show up, either here, or on my software. My software shows song plays here, and it has the same metadata, so I can't figure out what's going on. I'm also synced in as myself and not a guest. (I have been going back and forth between guest and host with the previous (2.5) version.)

KilasandraSings - you're sure that you have your device linked to your tag?

Brackets are valid; I'm not sure about "@" - I'll find out specifically what characters could cause a problem.
Thanks for looking into this. Note that the apostrophe ' was also listed in my query, as these are all characters that appear in my song titles. I allready made sure I removed all french accents from any artist, album artist, composer, song title or album name. I wonder how the software deals with "proper" spelling of Queensryche and Motley Crue, which both use the umlat. I made sure I removed them in my own lists.
Q
Well, I logged in this morning to get my new podcasts and see if anything was new and guess what? My zune card has completely updated!!!!
I tested it out a few times and like the person above, my plays from the Zune update almost immeditely. The steps didn't work at first but it looks like they have.
Thanks!
I followed the steps listed in the first post but my playcount still doesn't update the content played on my Zune hardware. Only Zune software plays are counted. I also tried starting a new database file with the same result - no change.
