Hi Heinrich.

I am trying to embed the Key developed for each tune by Beatunes into my iTunes music library in the comment field. I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on my MAC which is running the new Mountain Lion. I added the Copy Key to Comment 2.0.0 add in and restarted Beatunes. I then analyzed my total music library. Once finished I selected the Embed non-itunes fields from the tools menu pull down. It executed. I have now checked iTunes and do not find the Key in the comment field. I must be doing something wrong. Can you please help me with next steps.

   Hi,

   the "Copy key to comment" plugin is an analysis plugin. Did you make sure to enable it when you ran the analysis? You can easily check by selecting a single song, clicking on analyze and then pay close attention to the "Analysis Options" dialog. In there you must enable that plugin - probably somewhere near the bottom of that dialog.

   I wonder if there is a way to embed the non itunes fields into the tag without analyzing the files again. I have a library of over 10.000 files and it took forever to complete. Once it finished, I realized I hadn't turned on the option to embed the information...

   There is an option in the Tools menu.
