<p>a FileSystem/Folder-based library has nothing to do with iTunes
fields, therefore all values are always embedded. That's why the
option isn't even given.<br>
BTW: The values are not written during "sync", but when they are
computed. "sync" only reads, never writes.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

Thanks for the swift reply. The mood isn't adding into the file
properties on this same library. I've got the paid version now,
will it only add in the BPM, artist name, album name, rating, song
name, year and genre for a folder library, leaving the mood and
color un-synced? If so is there an easy way I can get this into the
folder properties?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>No - in principle the data should be written. How can you tell
that it's not?</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

Going into the file properties in windows folder explorer, the mood
field<br>
is still blank and I can't find the color under any misc
properties? Also<br>
when added into other music players BPM shows up but not the color
or mood<br>
which would be very useful. Should I be using some other
application to<br>
view the meta-data? Also I'd like to add that I am very impressed
with your<br>
customer service!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>mood as well as color are beaTunes proprietary fields and will
not be displayed by any third party apps. Both are stored in
special text fields - which means that a comprehensive tag reader
will be able to see them, but does not know how to make sense of
the values.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
