As per the id3 standard I use the TSSE tag to record precise information about how the track was encoded:

TSSE Software/Hardware and settings used for encoding


MusicBee is overwriting this tag with its own information. For example one of my tags might be:


TSSE: LAME 3.92 --alt-preset standard / EAC (Secure Mode)

and MusicBee overwrites this information with:

Lame3.92

so there is data loss here.

Also, before a file is introduced to the tag editor, the data from TSSE does not show up in the tag editor (or any other tools)under 'Encoder Settings' field however I can see it is several other tagging software packages as well as the Tag Inspector tool so there must be some special handling going on here with this tag.

My request is to preserve this tag and display it properly in the various tools so the data can be used.
