Correct re meaning of PUID, but it relates to "semantically identical" files - see http://musicbrainz.org/doc/HowPUIDsWork. So I'm guessing for every track you have that has the same PUID, it is in fact the same track, just a different version, length etc?

If you've run the full analysis via genpuid, the analysis result is sent to the server and utlimately a PUID is generated at the server side. Give it a few days, rerun genpuid against the tracks and you'll likely find that the PUID tag has been added. I've certainly seen this happen on my end. -- audiomuze *'Linux finally gets a great audio tagger' (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-finally-gets-a-great-audio-tagger.html): 'puddletag' (http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84338 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
