Hi there! New user to MusicBee here.

Every time that I want to sync my iPhone 6 with the iPod and iPhone Driver plug-in, it syncs everything, instead of only just new songs and songs that may have been modified, like if I changed the tags or album art. It also won't sync any music files that are read only, when I am pretty sure that iTunes is able to do this. Is there any way to fix that?

Also, is there any way to make MusicBee work like in iTunes, in that whenever the play count is changed, it doesn't keep having to modify the file? I have a plug-in called Additonal Tagging Tools, which is supposed to update the playcount, but it never syncs up. It just adds the playcount under Tags (2) and modifies the file every single time I listen to it. And is there any simple way to sync play count between iTunes and MusicBee, besides converting the library to an iTunes one and keep importing it? I really want to switch over but these differences are bothering me.

Mind addressing the questions I asked instead of just saying that?

Would you Mind Googling MusicBee's support for iStuff?
Perhaps it's better for you to stick with iTunes, or perhaps give MediaMonkey a try?

the author of that plugin has stated he no longer supports it
Are you referring to the iPod driver plugin, or (heaven forbid) Additional Tagging & Reporting Tools?
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.

Steven is not the author of either of the two plugins you mentioned. So he can't be expected to answer your questions.
And as hiccup suggested, you should search the forum as you might find what you're looking for. Or not. In which case you should post in the plugin's thread.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.

Ok, I'll try posting in the plugin's thread then.. Sorry. I still want to know if there are similar functionalities in MusicBee like in iTunes, like "whenever the play count is changed, it doesn't keep having to modify the file" I notice whenever I listen to a song in iTunes and the play count changes that it doesn't have to modify the file itself.
