AcoustID Fingerprint #635

Closed kkarkos closed 11 months ago

kkarkos commented 11 months ago

Hi there, I'm using mutagen to tag WAV files with ID3 tags. The tagging is working fine, beside an AcoustID Fingerprint is being added automatically for every file. I can't find any documentation about that. Is this a bug?

No, mutagen does not write any tags by itself. Either your code sets this tag or the tag was already present before. In any way the value needs to come from somewhere. Did you run some AcoustID fingerprinting on the files? If yes, with which tool?

What exactly does your mutagen code do?

I just found the issue. My source file had the TXXX:Acoustid Fingerprint already in it. I'm cross-comparing my files with different DAWS, Apps and Software after adding tags. One of them must have added it! 🤦‍♂️
