iPod touch Play count not working!

[Lok3sh]

Hello everyone!
I seem to be having a problem with the play count on my iPod Touch 3rd Gen running the latest firmware. What happens is when I play music on my iPod touch, however many times I seem to play a song, the play count on iTunes (in the iPod not library) still shows zero until I play the song on the iPod THROUGH iTunes!
Does anyone know why its doing this??
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Same issue with Podcasts

I've got the same issue with podcasts. On my other two iPods, once I listen to a podcast, the playcount is incremented in iTunes and the Blue Dot goes away. This way I can delete what I've heard on the iPod and iTunes. Not so on the iTouch. And in addition I have to delete the podcast in both place now., once on the iTouch and if I can remember which ones, also on iTunes. I really love the iTouch but miss the feature that allows me to delete podcasts I've already heard from the both iTouch and iTunes. I hope it's just a setting I've got wrong.
