Does "play count" show up in the list of columns above the songs? If it doesn't you need to look under View and select "View Options" there you can select play count. Some podcasts don't seem to register play count for some reason. Probably the way they were created. Try a piece of music and see if play count works. On you audio book, it maybe that the book is being stored under music rather than "audio books" Look in your music list. If it is there you can play it. If you are bothered by not having the book listed under audio books I will tell you how I do this on a Mac and maybe it will work on a PC.
