Hi Uma,
Sorry for the late response.
You investigation results are correct.
You find more details in the bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/728197
I hope I can finish a basic version just before GSoC so your would
continue it.
Have you read the updated page:
http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/gsoc2013ideas#advanced_tagging
For me, the main focus of this project and the place for your ideas the
user experience while editing meta date.
So which data should Mixxx collect for each track and how the user can
edit it.
This is much more than Artist, Album and Bmp.
Kind regards,
Daniel
