Downloading cover art edits my tags
« on: May 03, 2007, 02:58:45 pm »

Why is that and how can I stop it?

I really like this program and getting cover art from the internet is very easy and a pretty cool function. However whenever I download cover art it edits the file's tag, which I most certainly do NOT WANT because afterwards files become useless for torrenting.

The option save images to tags is unticked I have it set to "Save next to file Artist-Album". It still edits my tags after downloading cover art from the net.

Using MC 12.

Why do you think that?  What do you think it's changing?

Most likely because of this:



and because afterwards when I do a Re-Check in uTorrent, it wants to start downloading again.

What do you mean "because of this"? 

Entries in MC's library are not necessarily in the tags.

Select a file and hit ALT-Enter to get to the tags.

Notice in the bottom of the screenshot it says "Saving Tag changes" ? That's what I meant because of this.

I just downloaded cover art for another album I was seeding, did a re-check in uTorrent and it reports the files are 10% downloaded, which is nonsense because I was seeding it with 100%. MC because of some strange reasons modifies the tags after downloading cover art.
