ha, come on, i don't see it that way. snarlydwarf;425724 Wrote: > SC supports MB tags. yes, but what i meant is that SC could use the tag as its way to persistently recognize a file first, (for when clear and rescan is done) before other methods to do so are attempted. persistence was being discussed in other threads for the new schema i think. snarlydwarf;425724 Wrote: > Yes, it does. > > Every disc has a unique ID.
