As I recently backed up my music library, I thought I'd have a go at using
genpuid to archive fingerprint/puid data.
I thought I'd run it on a single folder to start with as a test, using the
following:
genpuid.exe 57aae6071e74345f69143baa210bda87 -m3lib="C:\Documents and
Settings\Phil\Application Data\MusicIP\MusicIP Mixer\default.m3lib" -archive -r
"M:\Music\Phil's Music\Ambient\Alio Die & Saffron Wood" -logex
This reported:
Songs to be scanned: 3
Unfortunately this seems to have kicked off the archiving process on ALL files
(assume the m3lib param therefore overrides the folder I specified).
Anyway, it's been processing my files for some time, and I haven't noticed any
issues so far.
I was worried in that I heard that genpuid could cause corruption of some mp3
files with large id3 tag blocks. Any ideas how I can confirm that nothing is
corrupted? I can restore any corrupted files from a backup, but how would I
know (unless I compare every tag before/after archive analysis, and play every
song!)?
Also, what tags would this have written to the files? I notice several tags in
mp3 files:
MUSICIP DATA
MUSICMAGIC DATA
MUSICMAGIC FINGERPRINT
For flac files I have:
ANALYSIS
FINGERPRINT
MUSICIP_DATA
MUSICIP_PUID
All values are different.
I had previous archived some analysis via the MusicIP GUI, perhaps Genpuid and
MusicIP write different tags? Are some redundant?
