Hello. Does anyone know what is Tunecortex?
After mass tagging some files with MusicBrainz and Discogs, i'm now cleaning up useless tags and found those TUNECORTEX tags with only numbers. I googled Tunecortex and found this page http://tunecortex.com/ with only tunecortex master on a grey page. I'll probably remove those tags but i'm curious what this is about. There is nothing about it here and if something audio-related is not discussed here, wher should it be

Quick google revealed that it (was) some site which provided BPM information for tunes, but I am not aware through which software. That being said, I am quite sure you were tagging pirated material

QUOTE (hlloyge @ May 8 2012, 10:31)  That being said, I am quite sure you were tagging pirated material There were probably some. Sometimes when i can't buy an album in FLAC i buy it as MP3 and then torrent the FLAC.  That being said, there were more than just "alternative formats" in this mass tagging batch. In fact i was mass tagging a large part of my collection in an attempt to re-organize it better. Over the years i have used tags quite differently and now that i have found a software with very good tags support (foobar2000) i wanted to have something coherent. MusicBrainz and Discogs seemed like a good starting point. This allowed me to realize i had some albums with missing tracks. Even albums i ripped myself from my own CD EDIT : The tracks with tunecortex info are actually tracks i ripped myself from my very own CDs so there's no relation to the "official" or "alternative" source of the tracks And, yes, i also buy CDs, but CD storage is space limited while digital is virtually unlimited (thanks to ever-increasing hard-drive capacity). I buy physical CDs only from my favorite bands or when there is no legal download. Everything ends up on my computer anyway as i no longer have a CD reader. EDIT 2 : Now that i think of it, i have tried a couple of automatic BPM analysers some time ago on a few albums. That's probably when those tunecortex tags appeared. I never noticed them before as i didn't pay much attention to custom tags, or wasn't even able to see them before using foobar2000  Well, thanks for the answer.
