Is beatunes able to concatenate to them or store everything elsewhere (where Serato can pick them up)?<br>

To be honest, I'm not sure I fully understand your question/use case. Could you please explain in more detail?!</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/463068682018-10-21T20:02:48Z2018-10-21T20:02:48ZPreserve comment field<div><p>Huge thanks Hendrik, that answers most of my query. beaTunes extracts color, dancability, etc, as well as BPM and so on - is there a way I can get beaTunes to write that to the ID3 files, so that Serato can read it, without overwriting the Comments field of tracks? (Either by storing them somewhere else, or by concatenating them to the comments, or whatever.)<br>
Thanks again<br>

When you analyze with beaTunes you have the <strong>option</strong> to also write some things to the comment field (tags, key, ...). Just make sure you don't enable those options.</p>
<p>Suggestion: Try it out with a couple of tracks first! Always have a backup.</p></div>hendrik
