just to be a pain ...
I ran through edits, inside MusicBee and with Explorer-Properties.
I used a .MP3 file that was already in the MB database.
It started out with the artist field as "artist 1/{f}/artist 2"
I wanted it to be "artist 1; {f}; artist 2"
I really did do it in detail, with both manual "synchronize" commands, exit & restart of MB, etc.
I edited in MB in various ways, and I edited in Windows in various ways.
I did mulltiple restarts of MB, and two system reboots.
In no case ever could I force a sync between the artist field in the .MP3 file and the MB version.
It appears that once it is in the MB db, it is there as a completely separate entity,
unless I delete it from one place or the other and rescan,
in which case I lose the edits from the secondary.
I could not force anything like a sync .. and i did all the tests with an old .MP3 file and the artist field
to minimize variables.
any thoughts?
