I performed other tests - it gets weird. Concentrating only on year field and all else being equal, this happens during transcoding: - If year value exists in source file but not in cue sheet, year field is empty in transcoded file. - If same year values exist in source file and cue sheet, year field has the same value in transcoded file. - If different year values exists in source file and cue sheet, year field value is the same as in cue sheet in transcoded file. This is where it gets weird: if...

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this, and for the detailed answer which is both useful and interesting. Sorry I dumped someone else's mess in your lap, I wasn't aware that there could be inconsistencies in fields mappings. I'll bring this to the attention of the editor's developer.

I just tested batch transcoding one album and transcoding only one track; see attached screenshot for results. In essence year field was stripped in both cases despite peing present in original, and track formatting was changed in both cases. Will test again with other files and report if something new.

One album = one folder; One track = one flac file; Log file and cue sheet are set to always saved, but I will change this as it serves no useful purpose and creates issues.

I have always used Restrict files to open with extension, with only flac in the field below, so the issue described remains valid despite this parameter. If you are telling me I should also explicitly exclude cue files (by other means than NOT having it in the field), how do I do that: -cue ?
