Not sure yet if those really stubborn itunesleftovertags will popup again. I had a look at your tutorial about cleaning rubbish tags.Īt the moment I am re-importing my 90.000+ tracks in the completely cleared-up database. I assume I should not do anything with the COMMENT fields that have no relation with iTunes - except my 'own' field simply called COMMENT. If (which is the case) I will not use my tracks anymore within iTunes, nor will they pass any iTunes related application, can I then safely empty all those iTunes fields?ģ. Does MM at ANY time do ANYTHING with the information stored in the ITUNES related metadata fields?Ģ. In the same Metadata box I also find COMMENT fields that I think contain MM-data:ĬOMMENT_MUSICMATCH_PREFERENCE, COMMENT_MUSICMATCH_SITUATION and others.ġ. In the external tag editor MP3TAG I used the extended tagging option and found a box with a lot of METADATA.Īmongst them fields with uncommon COMMENT names like:ĬOMMENT ITUNNORM, COMMENT ITUNPGAP, ITUNSMPB, ITUNES_CDDB_1, ITUNES_CDDB_TRACKNUMBER etc.Īppartently these fields are (exclusively?) Itunes related - fields for normalizing volume, gapless playback etc. Today I found, by coincidence, information that PERHAPS explains the mystery and paves the path to a solution. Did not verify (yet) if it was the same shit on the same floor, or different dirt at a different spot. Sizzly: I did sync the tags, but after a few sessions I have those mysterious comments AGAIN, in certain tracks.
