# Import Tagging Information

A files's tagging information can be exported and imported to a Mac OS property list, (plist), file. Large chunks of information such as images and binary data are stored in separate files referenced by the plist.

When importing a file's tagging information, all previous information is overwritten. If the file contains data not appropriate for the destination, it will be ignored when the file is saved. For example, mp3 data is imported to an m4a file.
