The biggest issue for users that I have observed with not associating
"extra" data (like iPhoto categories) with the file data is that it
gets lost if the file gets moved or copied by any application other
than the one with the disassociated metadata. For applications like
iTunes this works as expected, as it places it's associated
attributes within the file data. But for applications like iPhoto
which keep a secondary database of associated metadata rather than
directly pairing it with the file data itself, copying the file
doesn't preserve any of this extra metadata.
Well, with iTunes you'll find the situation is even more confusing
than that, since some items (play count, ratings?) aren't stored in
the ID3 tags in the file but only in the iTunes DB, and *will* get
lost if you move the file.
