Title: custom coluumn data missing
Post by: Dpmusicbee on May 25, 2020, 04:41:12 PM

Hi,

i remove all individual folders that my mp3s were in and just added them back onto the hd. i rescan that drive in mb and all data that were in my custom fields are missing. can someone explain to me why this happen please. i wouldn't think by removing from a folder and then just adding back onto a hd would cause this. side note the missing data show up in mp3tag.

Thanks

Dbee

You probably had the custom tags saved to MB's database and not as a tag within the file. You can chose how you want that handled when you're setting up the custom tag(s).

Preferences > Tags (1) > custom tags >
Use whichever tag you wish.
Choose a tag that you're no likely to use in the futuer. I've used copyright, publisher, commercial info.
