That's not what I'm asking. Foo_playcount allows to copy stats between tracks (for ex. if you renamed files using external programs, you can transfer the stats from old to new files). Problem is only rating and basic stats are copied. All that is done via context menu.
Files renamed or retagged (maybe not both at the same time though?) by external programs no longer lose their stats post FB2.0 release. That should also apply to stats from this plugin.
I know this mechanic works, but I'm a little fuzzy on Peter's implementation.

Like transferring stats between different versions of albums, libraries, etc.
Because the tags are metadata based you can transfer stats from an existing album to a different version of the same album by ensuring that %artist% %album% $year(%date%) %title% %tracknumber% are all identical. Once FB detects the change, the playcount stats will transfer over, and then you can freely rename/retag and they will stick. Not quite as convenient as copy/paste, but I use this all the time.
I know that trick, but then you are bound to tag everything within foobar, which may be totally inconvenient when you start integrating your workflow with other software and/or export your library to other devices. It's also a problem tagging singles or compilations, because you then have to tag multiple times a lot of files one by one.

Another question, would it be possible to integrate listenbrainz listens here? Like last.fm.

I'm currently facing a problem regarding playcount since there are other plugins sending listens to ListenBrainz, the same than last.fm works. But if you listen to things on other devices, then they are not synced back to foobar. Therefore the only listens available on foobar come from your component or marc's one using foobar itself.

I know I can do it via js with their API but I think it would be much more convenient to have them the same than last.fm listens. Like last.fm only a username is needed. The mapping works the same.

Please see this:

Not sure which one of the 2 plugins is doing something wrong, or both (?)

Interesting. foo_listenbrainz2 stores the time of playback start and uses this for submitting the listened_at time. So this should be fine.

I don't know much about enhanced play count, but looks like this is storing a later time. The 1 minute delay might indicate that it considers 1 minute time before counting it as a play.
