Hi All,

Not to be alarmist, but...

I believe I may have an issue of genpuid actually deleting tags when
analyzing my library.  

I apologize if this is somewhat off-topic, however, it does match the
subject line of the thread, as the symptom I see is that a number of my
albums that were correctly tagged previously now have blank tags in the
album, genre and artist tags.  When viewed in SqueezeCenter, these
blank tags are showing up as 'Miscellaneous' in the respective tag.

I believe this was caused by genpuid, based on how I've analyzed my
library, following the wiki instructions here:

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Integrating_MusicIP_with_SqueezeCenter#Option_1:_Using_Genpuid

In particular, I used the 'archive' feature of genpuid to create
ANALYSIS and FINGERPRINT tags.

Code:
--------------------
    
  genpuid [dnskey] -r -logex -m3lib=cache.m3lib -archive .
  
--------------------


My guess is that along with writing these two tags specific to MusicIP,
genpuid altered some other additional tags (ALBUM, GENRE, and possibly
ARTIST as well).  On some tracks only one of the tags was cleared -
most often the ALBUM tag, but sometimes both ARTIST and GENRE or ALBUM
and ARTIST - there doesn't appear to be any pattern.

My library is approx 20K FLAC with vorbis comments only.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this?

I've replied to an existing thread on the MusicIP forums to check with
the folks there.  The forum link is:
