Hi Keith, Mixxx does not write the metadata back to the files. Here are the bugs that may explain why:
Bug #728197 Bug #667849 This behavior of Mixxx is puzzling me to. I think some other players like banshee have the same problems. Clementine-Player has its tag read and write managed in a different process. Maybe we can solve our problem if we use also the "clementine-tagreader" In general I have the opinion that Mixxx is not the right application to beautify the track library. There are many applications out there which do a quite good job. The question for me is whats the right way to have the best benefit for Mixxx. This topic was also discussed in Bug #911743 Kind regards, Daniel -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 00:32:51 -0800 > Von: "keithsalisb...@gmail.com" <keithsalisb...@gmail.com> > An: mixxx-devel <mixxx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Betreff: [Mixxx-devel] Mixxx pissed me off today! > Sorry guys, normally I wouldn't say this, but something happened today > which I really don't understand why this choice has been made, maybe > someone can explain. > > So in the last week or so, I've spent many hours tweaking the metadata > in my dj library, sorting out track titles, artists, labels, keys, > bpms all sorts of goodness which makes a record box more than just a > bunch of files. > > It was my assumption all this goodness was being baked into the files. > > Yesterday as part of building a new version I moved my .mixxx config, > and associated database etc out the way to create a new one. > > And here it is, to my surprise and quite honestly my shock, my files > we ALL back to their tatty messed up disorganised state - ALL my time > and effort had been reverted. > > Now you'll notice I was smart enough to backup my data before creating > a new database, so I've not really lost anything, however I AM upset > that this happened.
