In my opinion, while it might be incorrect English if you look up "play" in a \
dictionary, it can also be made on purpose, given a new — not yet in dictionaries \
— meaning to the word as a noun. That's certainly similar to what we did in \
Galician for "scrobble": we transformed the verb "listen" into a noun, with the \
meaning of "times a song or songs have been played" (like "play" here), and \
translated "scrobble" as "send plays".

Anyway, I guess "time(s) played" can be used instead of "play(s)" here if you want to \
avoid new meanings for words.
