If you don't have iTunes installed on the same computer as LMS is
running, iTunes Update and TrackStat will work the same way. Both will
generate a text file with changed ratings and play counts and you need
to manually run a perl script on the computer using iTunes to actually
write the ratings and play counts to iTunes.
If the paths to the music files in LMS differs from the paths to the
music files in iTunes, I think you need to use TrackStat because I
think iTunes Update requires the paths to be the same, while TrackStat
have a configuration parameter where you can remap them before they are
written to the text file the perl script uses as input.
The principle is that with TrackStat, you configure in "Custom
Scan/TrackStat Statistics Export" module, where the iTunes music
directory is from iTunes perspective and that will make sure that the
paths written to the text file will be the one iTunes is familiar with.
So later when you run the perl script (TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl) and
feed the text file as input, iTunes will be able to adjust the ratings
and play counts appropriately.
