1282 Playing causes auto-sync to write rating tags [6296]

Post by chrisjj »

1 Choose a WMA track having a rating in the library but no RATING WMP or SDB/Rating in the file.
2 Auto-Sync it to a device (here tested with a SUBST drive)
3 Inspect for RATING WMP or SDB/Rating tags e.g. using Mp3tag - verify none found
4 Play the track to completion once
5 Auto-Sync it again
6 Inspect for RATING WMP or SDB/Rating tags e.g. using Mp3tag

Expected: file unchanged
Observed: file updated, RATING WMP or SDB/Rating tags found

This is a particular PITA for me because it falsely registers (by setting Modifed) an update in the synced file. The result is that all tracks I play in the library are unnecessarily synced and pushed through the rest of my process pipeline that starts from that sync.

Could you clarify this, is it a typo?
