I understand most of this, but what's the 'tid'?

(btw: what is a better forum section for this question?)

First, I apologize for bumping an old thread. But since there are no answers on this thread and others (for example myself) might get directed here from Google, I thought that I would leave a reply.

TID or Tracking ID is a GUID that Windows Media Player somehow uses to find the song. This is how you can move the location of the song but when you listen to the playlist in Windows Media Player it can still play the song.

Other programs and devices, such as Android, don't use the TID field and rely on the SRC (Source) to be accurate. If the SRC is wrong, then the songs won't appear in the playlist on these other applications. In Windows Media Player 12, there is also a CID (Content ID) field with similar (but different) functionality.
