Hi,
I'm familiaring myself with many of the new features of MJ. Getting to appreciate it.
a) SOme of the new functions, help topics in the help system will be great. I know that it is still being worked on. I would suggest priority on the newer functions.
b) The CDDB function is no longer available, but replaced with submission to YADB. The YADB is a good feature. But this is wrongly reflected in the help system.
c) What is confusing is
Update tags (From Library) and
UPdate Library (from Tags)
It is also not written in the help. This is very important since wrong usage may cause problem to our database.
What does
Update tags (From Library) and
UPdate Library (from Tags)
Exactly do?

My observations are that:
UPdate Library (from Tags) : MJ takes the tag values and writes them into the library, eventually replacing existing values. I don't know what about db fields that do not exist in the tags; are they set to 'empty' ? are they unchanged ?
Update tags (From Library) :
- existing tags that exist also in db: MJ updates their values from the related db value
- existing tags that do not exist in db: MJ let them inchanged
- db fields that do not exist in tags: MJ creates the tags if the tag type allow it
There is a specific behaviour the first time MJ9 updates MJ8 tags: MJMD tag is replaced by several COMM tags.
Otherwise if you want to remove existing tags that don't have a corresponding db field (such as TENC or USER) you need to 'remove tag' and then 'Update tags (From Library)' but be careful if you have embedded cover art: you will loss them !

the help file will be updated when MJ9 comes out of Beta and is released to the Public.
Many things are changing in MJ9.
