Is the HHCache value still used to determine if a file is stacked because it's meant to be used on a portable?
If yes, then is there anyway to manually set that value? I've been manually doing a file conversion everytime I add a new lossless album. I figure when I'm adding and tagging music, I don't mind that I'm spending time also converting the lossless files to MP3 and stacking them in case I ever want to transfer them to my iPod later. When I'm doing an actual sync, I usually want it to hurry up and get on with it.
So anyway... I've been manually creating these stacked files but now it seems that maybe MC won't use the file unless it has the HHCache value in the Stack Tag field... is that correct?
Also... is this field stored in the file itself? Or is it a database only field? I just checked mine and noticed that, apparently by default, it's only stored in the database.
The problem I've run into is that I've started a new library a while back and now none of my files have the HHCache value in them (not even the ones that MC had created for me), and there's apparently no way for me to set it. So I may be stuck with a situation where I have to delete all of these MP3s and then have MC re-create nearly 5000 files all over again.
I'm really hoping there's another way out of this.
