Hello Hendrik,

thank you first for your excellent work.

Many programs monitor the timeliness of the files on the time stamp.
So is it possible to maintain this despite file update by beaTunes?

   Hi,

   I suppose you mean the last modification time, right?
   One could probably force reset this after a modification to the time it had before, basically, outsmarting the filesystem/operating system. But what would be the use? What kind of software relies on that kind of timestamp and for what purpose?

   Thanks,

   Hello Hendrik,

   thank you for your reply.
   When Mixmeister for example, all files with changed timestamps are automatically analyzes new. And just because beaTunes ingeniously added as the year in the tag. There are other programs with databases that use this approach. MP3Tag offers this in the MP3Tag Options "timestamp maintained in files".

   Thanks

   Hey...

   I understand the request and the behavior of those application.
   However, if you embedded BPM into your files using beaTunes, you surly want those apps to pick this up. And the way they noticed is via the last modified date.

   So this kind of works as designed, I suppose...
