Will adding Artwork Modify File's Metadata
When adding album-art to my tracks in Songbird is it modifying the FLAC files themselves, or just a library file in Songbird itself?
I only ask because I have some files which I've aquired... elsewhere... and if the files themselves are changed by adding album art then they wouldn't register right with the torrent and would re-download themselves.
Same with other metadata like Ratings and the like... is this stored in a library file or the meta data of the files themselves?
Cheers!

I’m enjoying this app.

Inappropriate?Currently FLAC filetypes do not have the album art written back to them, however mp3 and some others do. This can be turned off in the Album Art Preferences to be sure. Also ratings are not written to the files by default. You can check the following preferences in about:config (type in your url bar)
songbird.metadata.ratings.enableWriting (false by default)
songbird.metadata.artwork.enableWriting (true by default)
All other data like Artist, Album, Track name etc are written to the file if you change them in Songbird. I would recommend making the files read only if you do not want to have them modified so they no longer match the *cough*source*cough*.
Also Songbird does not support obtaining media illegally, we are assuming the torrents you are downloading are free for distribution (Creative Commons).
I’m confident
