Thierry reported a problem in Songbird on April 24, 2009 09:27:

BPM id3v2 tag not refreshed or not correctly read ?

I have calculate the BPM of all my mp3 s using Mix Meister BPM analyser

I am able to see the result in the BPM id3v2 tag using tools like MP3Tag or The GodFather,
But the value is not shown in SongBird field BPM, is there another field or just a problem of refresh ?

Thierry replied on April 24, 2009 09:20 to the idea "External tag files, a kind of universal way of taggin'" in Songbird:

I think it is better to have tags in the media files in order to make the media files portable
What will happen to your external tag files when you will copy your mp3 file from a location to another ?
You will have huge issue because of loss of data.
I think embedded datas are the best way to have consistent data

BUT it can be a good idea to have a tools made to transfer datas from a file to another in order to copy metadata from your poor quality media to a better quality one
