>Right click on the track in MIP after analysis and you will see the >option to Archive the analysis to the file. It does add new tags to >your files without changing any of the previous tags. > That's not my experience - I found that Archive Analysis sometimes lost content in tags. It appears that it reads all of the tags in, adds its archive analysis/fingerprint tags, and then writes all of the tags back to the file. However, there are some tags that it can't read. As it doesn't read them, it doesn't write them back again, and thus the data is lost.
I found this happened with multi-valued id3 tags. e.g. if you have several ARTIST or GENRE tags, rather than use a separator character in a single tag value, then it is likely that only the first artist/genre would be kept. Other tags that may be troublesome are things like the iTunes TCMP frame, which is a non-standard id3v2.3 tag that iTunes uses to indicate COMPILATION. A lot of applications don't read this tag. >You can make a copy of a few files and test if it is to your satisfaction >before you >do it for your entire library. Definitely a good idea.
