I think it is used in connection with some of the DJ play options of the RK. > Otherwise you could use one of the replay_gain flags since they > are certainly unused.

I'd like not to break support for the 1.68 firmware (my regular-use RK has this version and I'm lazy to upgrade -- apart from not having any M$W machine to do it ;) Nevertheless, I guess 1.68 can leave with a smalldb which includes these properties... BTW, if this is true, we could just add an ad-hoc prop to the set of "legal" properties. In fact, you can add whatever you like to the ??1 files. Only that the RK Rescan Music will not add the "ilegal" staff to smalldb. But now that we have full control over smalldb, may be we can do it. What do you think?
