Still trying to understand what benefits there are from having/storing PUIDs.  
I thought they would be used to quickly re-analyse music, should I need to (eg. 
if m3lib get corrupted).

However, if I archive analysis, this stores Fingerprint and Analysis (mix 
data), and thus wouldn't need to re-analyse.  And if "List Duplicates" doesn't 
require PUIDs, what other reasons are there for PUIDs.

As genpuid seems to store completely different fingerprint, analysis and PUID 
tags from MusicIP GUI, there doesn't seem to be much point to genpuid either.

I run MusicIP headless, with Web UI to add new music and analyse, but this 
doesn't archive analysis data.  I thought I'd automate by using genpuid, but it 
seems that maybe it would still be better to open MusicIP UI to archive 
analysis from time to time, as genpuid seems to analyse every file referenced 
in m3lib every time it is run, if I want it to store tags in source files and 
also update the m3lib file.  And it stores duplicate tags, so this is a bit 
wasteful.

Another curiosity I have is with the SBS Web UI Song > More Info > View Tags 
display:

MUSICMAGIC DATA:

MUSICMAGIC FINGERPRINT: (756 Bytes) 

The MUSICMAGIC DATA tag appears as a long text area box with a scrollbar (quite 
messy), whereas the MUSICMAGIC FINGERPRINT only reports the length of the data 
tag.  Maybe there is something special in SBS to ignore reporting fingerprint 
data, but not the DATA tag?
