Maybe you've synchronized the Touch with another player that doesn't

In this case, the server would transcode the file to something the

Policy of Squeezebox Server is to never ever change the media files, it
only reads them.
AFAIK, plugins for the "fat" Squeezebox Server that support ratings (or
other means of "tagging" music files) do not change tags in files
either, but rather rely on databases entries to st
