What I mean is that seeing a PUID tag added is *evidence* that genpuid
successfully retrieved matched your locally generated fingerprint and
-retrieved- (versus locally generated) the track's analysis tag. I know
it's not used to do anything meaningful, but aside from picking through
log files, looking to see if a PUID tag was added tells you that the
track's analysis was downloaded. That's all.

That's because you are using the linux and/or MacOS binaries of
genpuid. If you check my first post in this thread I reported the same
issue. Genpuid on Windows works fine, however. May not be an option for
you but it is for others who have a Windows machine at their disposal.

Multithreading is a huge time saver--I have a quad core Xeon chewing
through 4 separate instances of genpuid simultaneously.
