Hi there

Does Beatunes in it's analysis and the work it does my music files somehow degrade or "muck up" the mp3s at all? I know that's a weird question, but I want to insure that my files are not detrimentally changed.

I do have back ups, but i want to know if in the volume changes, the retagging and any classifications it does will harm my files. I dj professionally, and naturally my music is my money.

thank you for your time.

    Hey Chris,

    beaTunes does not change the audio content of your files. Even when calculating ReplayGain, it only adjust the metadata tags. It's up to the player to honor or ignore those tags.
    Regarding embedding tags at all—beaTunes knows two kinds of libraries. If you are using an iTunes-based library, only iTunes-supported tags are embedded into the files by default. If you want other tags to also be embedded, you have to check the corresponding box in the beaTunes general preferences. If you are using a folder-based library, values are always embedded.

    In any case, if you fear for your files, try using beaTunes on a few files at first and see how it works. Also, as I tell everyone, please first try beaTunes before you buy it.

    I hope this answers your question.
