Mp3Tag usually does the right thing so I suspect that's the case also for musicbrainz tags. There is a specification from musicbrainz.org for it which you can find here: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainz_Tag
I don't think there is any way to detect if a file has an old or new musicbrainz identity. The effect of the changed principle Musicbrainz did was just that some tracks changed musicbrainz identities. Most tracks have the same musicbrainz identtiies as before, i think it's mainly tracks on compliation albums that might have got a changed identity. The only way to be sure is probably to retag the whole library, but that could be a lot of work so I'm not sure it's worth the trouble unless you get some problems related to it. The old principle was preferred from a TrackStat perspective as it results in unique track identities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95698 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
