I've been using my QuickTag App for a while now to add meta-data to all of my tracks for better organization (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quic...26483889?mt=12).
It works great, but I ran into some random issues. I was finding that I would tag a file, and then later on I would go back into iTunes, play that file, and the tag would revert to whatever it was before! For example, I'd change the comments field from "Purchased at Beatport.com" to a QuickTag string, I'd come back into iTunes at a later date, play the track, the comments field would immediately switch to "Purchased at Beatport.com".
So I did some extensive digging, and it is Traktor. If you have a track and import it into Traktor, then analyze the track in Traktor, then the tag information you added to the track is lost when you play it again in iTunes.
I have opened a trouble ticket with NI, and they blamed iTunes. Not very reassuring.
A workaround is to just import your tracks first into Traktor, and THEN add any tagging information later. Then the tags stick.
I don't like the idea of applications re-writing my metadata!
