      so before we get down to brass tacks, i want to appologize for posting this in the bug report sections but i could not find anywhere in the faq's or forums that this issue would have fit correctly, and no link to directly contact support for questions that have been unanswered. so here we go while using MB to correct some of my majorly disoriented music tags, i noticed that there are several different icons in the GUI that pertain to the data that is being verified and changed with no explaination as to what they stand for, either in the in-Application help section, or via the website's parent directory or FAQ's section, im guessing they mean something like: Entire Disc:GOLD DISC Icon, Not sure what the green check mark would stand for when it is next to a file that is in a disc folder, not sure what the upright rectangle with a small portion of red filling it in means, but i did notice the amount of red is different for different files, Could this mean the file you have is damaged,incomplete, or could it have something to do with the percentage of the matched file being correct within the database? i am just thinking from my perspective as a user if those icons are to help me manage my personal archive of music, it would be great to know what they stand for, especially if they do stand for things like incomplete song based on the version and size that is referenced in the data base, and if they have nothing to do with that idea at all, then it would be a GREAT asset and feature to add to the program, for instance, most of my inaccurate tags obviously came from years and years ago when i would download them from peer to peers like kazaa and morpheous, i still have those songs in my archive and want to keep them, but i also want them to have the correct data, and if i do not have the full song i would love to be able to have that knowledge so that i can remove the incomplete file from my archive and purchase the full version from amazon or the like, i want my archive to be complete, correct and legal without erronious and incomplete files. I would rathere not have a song at all than to have a portion of a song. is there any way you can explain to me what the icons mean, as well as give me some insightful feedback on wether or not the idea of having such a feature set added to the application is a possibility or if it would require to much of an entire rewrite of the current software to implement it. If you have any insight and advice on these matters please feel free to email me @ irishempire@gmail.com thanks for any help you can provide.
