The eq plist holds settings for the eq sliders only. It has no knowledge of which songs those settings get associated with.
Yeah, I figured that out.
A question, though: when I associate a particular eq preset with a particular track via iTunes'
File menu ->
Get Info command ->
Options tab ->
Equalizer Preset pop-up menu, a Finder search for recently modified files shows only the track itself; neither
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library nor
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml appear in the search results, but according to
mdls ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library metadata attributes
kMDItemContentModificationDate and
kMDItemFSContentChangeDate both accurately reflect the change.
Is this some kind of characteristic of database files, or what?
