Tags in .pfmd file

I noticed that some of the .pfmd files miss the tags 'artist', 'title', album' etc. However, every tag has his own cuepoints (obvious).
How come so?
Every music file has been handled by- and every .pfmd has been made by ProppFrexx tagger. As far as I know, none of these files have been used by another app.

Maybe be you have tagged the entries later?!
However, as explained several times already, if you don't have a very specific reason, I recommend to NOT use both audio TAGs an the .pfmd files!
As these meta data are NOT automatically kept in sync (by design).
I.e. I would DISABLE (like it is per default) the use of .pfmd files!
By default ProppFrexx Onair and the Tagger do save the TAGs and metadata to every audio file directly.
Note, that when you modified the TAGs (e.g. via the external Tagger OR from within a manual playlist and the directly by opening the related media library) - you MUST rescan that media library in order to read in the new meta data.
As ProppFrexx caches the meta data from the media libraries at startup. Any later changes require a RESCAN of the media lib to read in the modified changes!
