I am having a ton of problems with MJ after using it for a long time. I want to backup all my music files, reinstall MJ and restore those files. Problem is I tried a test using a second machine, and all the "cleanup" work I have performed on the datafields goes bye bye. Ouch, I have close to 1000 songs that I have corrected the datafields, and used custom fields 1,2,3...
Is there a way to retain that datafield cleanup when I back up?
Please help me save a 100 hours of ...
Thanx

I am going from memmory here

under plugin manager make sure Id3v1 and Id3v2 are turned on and the combo box is set to "Save Create If necessary"

select all files, right click properties

Tools, Clean

in the lower right coner of this window there is a combo box that will allow you to save all fields regardless if the were changed or not.

then save the changes

all the tags should be updated, and a backup of the files can be done.

Thank You. I could not find Id3v1 and Id3v2. And I could not find the "save all field regardless..."
I really appreciate your help
