Does Subsonic Write Directly onto the Files?

Postby KicknGuitar » Thu Oct 10, 2013 2:40 am

To expand on the title, does Subsonic edit anything in a music file or is it all external for Subsonic to read only? (I'm hoping the files themselves go untouched/manipulated).

Cheers.

SS does not touch the files unless you ask it to eg. edit tags. (Even that may only update/change the SS database :? )
Perhaps someone else can confirm that (me server is offline at the moment for maint.)

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

Unfortunately, it looks like editing tags does manipulate the file itself. (Unless that's a feature of the mod, MusicCab)
Looks like I need a new HD then! Well, money, really. :lol:
