Just wondering if it's possible to get plays of downloaded songs count towards the total showed on iTunes. So for example if a song were on 99 plays on my desktop iTunes and I played it on my phone (downloaded from Apple Music), it would then go to 100 on my iTunes.

This used to work on iPods back in the day. When you connected them to your Mac, they'd count towards the play count. Just wondering if the same is possible with Apple Music. I'm aware that the play count is already affected by streamed music.
 
Pretty sure you can get it to do it when you sync to iTunes (though I have no experience with it), but I don't think you can make it do it seamlessly, without an iTunes sync
