was a bit clunky at that time. Wine has improved a lot, so I may give it
a go. However, on reflection, I suspect I wouldn't be able to use it
simply to transfer existing fingerprints to the relevant music files:
I'd probably have to re-analyse the lot into a new MIP database, and
archive to the files the same time. But that's a long job, even with my
modest library of 13,000 tracks.

I have a vague recollection that Spicefly used to recommend using
GenPUID to archive fingerprints to their music files; but that's not
been maintained for ages, and I believe it's getting increasingly out of
date, and therefore troublesome to get running. So I'm beginning to
think that archiving the fingerprints to my files at this stage is
probably more trouble than it's worth, and I'm just going to have to be
careful to make adequate backups of my default.m3lib! ;)

Many thanks for all your help.
