How do I reset plays in iTunes 12.4

I just upgraded to iTunes 12.4 for Windows and now I am no longer able to right click on a track and select, "Reset Plays."  How do I do that.  I use that function to managed my smart play lists.

Thanks.  So just to clarify, these are the steps I need to take:

1.  Open iTunes

2.  Select the tracks I want to reset plays to 0

3.  Run script (just double click it correct?)

4.  Synch with my iPhone/iPod

Is that the procedure?

Thanks again for your help.

I just spoke to Apple Care. Reset Plays has been removed! She said they're aware people are upset about that and may bring it back in the next update. I hate to sound like a conspiracy nut, but lately it seems that they're purposely getting rid of the stuff that made it easy to manage large music libraries to push people to streaming.  Turingtest2 came up with a work around Applescript:  https://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp

Thanks.  That makes no sense.  The script you mention resets ALL tracks.  I only want to reset a few.  How do I do that?

You highlight the songs you want to reset and then click on the script

Thanks.  So just to clarify, these are the steps I need to take:

1.  Open iTunes

Yup, that's how it worked for me when I tried it! The link to the Applescripts has instructions on the top of the page too.

Thanks!  I'll give it a try.

Seriously! *** apple why do you do this stuff all the time? Since your shuffle ***** and will repeat songs I create a playlist based on song play count and once its gone through all of them I reset the plays and start over so I never hear the same song twice. Now I have to run a script each time. Why does Apple continually take away features that people use?

That's exactly how I use the reset plays! Hopefully they'll bring it back...

Ask for what you want at iTunes Feedback.

Apple fixed this issue in iTunes 12.4.1 update.

iTunes 12.4.1 out: restores crossfade & play count reset

Sweeeet!

Thanks.  Yes, I saw that in a couple other forums.  Let's just hope it doesn't "un-fix" it.

YEEAaaa!! I finally found the answer on my own. Can't believe it. So simple once you know the secret handshake.

Select all the songs you want to reset. Put your cursor on one of the selected songs. Hold your control key. Click and select "Get Info". Near the bottom you will find a beautiful sight. "play count -" with a "Reset" button. Bingo.
