That's what I experienced when I tried it in the past (several years back).  
But when I recently tried to archive analysis within the MusicIP GUI, I tried 
an mp3 file with multiple genres and artists and there wasn't a problem (maybe 
since I switched to id3v2.4?).

GenPuid stopped on its own with a message "Terminated" - it didn't give a 
reason/error mesage.  Roughly half of the music library was processed.

I looked in the MusicIP GUI, and ordered by PUID.  I see some duplicate PUID's 
for songs with the same title, but are actually different versions (eg. one 
version on a compilation and one of the original album, but with different 
lengths).  PUIDs have always worried me, in that they may be used to 
re-associate stats (if file path changes), but if PUIDs are not unique, the 
stats will be applied to the wrong file.

I might remove the PUID tags.

So next question, how do I archive analysis without storing PUIDs in the future?
