Description Michal Sylwester 2014-05-12 02:56:52 UTC
Currently album metadata is only stored in DB. In my workflow I heavily depend on metadata being stored with my collection (for backups and syncing with other computers), which makes album metadata difficult for me to use.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change album metadata
2. Copy collection to another computer/remove the DB/restore DB from collection metadata

Actual Results:  
Album metadata is lost

Expected Results:  
Album metadata is preserved

I mentioned sidecar as it is used for image files without metadata support. If this idea could be copied for album metadata it would solve my problem.
