I found it very difficult to fix inconsistencies in v1-v2 tags. So if I had a LITTLE bit of tweaking, I'd copy to Emplode and THEN tweak.

Would it be safe to say that, even in the case of unsynched V1-V2 tags, that you at least filled out the V1 tag correctly? If so, I've sucessfully used the latest Tag Studio to simply strip off the V2 tags.

Does the empeg somehow retain attributes from the original copy? If you tweak within Emplode, that's somehow less permanent?

That's one way to look at it. Technically, here's the way it works:

Emplode only makes edits to the database, not to the MP3 files themselves. The tags within the MP3 files are untouched and haven't changed since you dropped them onto emplode.

So if you use another program (FTP, displayserver, whatever) to copy the MP3 files back off of the empeg, you're not copying the database entries you tweaked. You're just getting back the unchanged MP3 files.
