I will add that OrangeCD is better integrated with Windows Media Player than with any other player. You don't need to deal with command lines, just go to Preferences -> Media and select Media Player playback option (it's first in the list).

I use iTunes as my media player (my command line is identical to balok's except, of course, I have itunes where he has winamp). OCD updates last played whenever I play a track or a full album through OCD. I cannot create a queue when I use iTunes but I think that is an iTunes issue, not an OCD issue. Last played is available on the Misc tab (page) of the album properties.
On the Media Preferences tab (View -> Preferences -> Media) there is a checkbox that controls whether OCD updates for single tracks. If this is checked, then playing a single track won't update. You might want to check that.
Just to check it out further I changed my media player to Windows Media Player using this command line
"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" "%1"
OCD updated last played just fine both for a track and for an album.
I don't know anything about total time played. I don't get it for any track or album and can't think of a reason it would be of interest to me since it is mostly a function of track length and less of frequency of playing. I would be interested in number of plays, a bit of data that iTunes provides but doesn't seem available in OCD.

Where are you looking for the update?
All I can say is that last played updates just fine for me with either a filled-in command line like I used in the last message or with the automatic drop-down that Andrei suggested when I use Windows Media Player. So it isn't that OCD won't update, but you must have something set that doesn't let it do that. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that might be.
Andrei, thanks for your reply. I got it now. I played a CD from the OrangeCD programme (not CD player) and Windows Media Player loaded and played the CD (I had to add CDA to the File Types- Known Media File Extensions in the Media Menu). Last Played Field updated immediately. However Total Time Played did not update. Can this be fixed?
Thanks
