If you mean emms-info-native, it reads only those info-tags that are
somehow utilized in EMMS.  See (info "(emms) Defining Info Methods") for
a list.

Other info-tags could be read into the metadata cache as well, but at
the moment there is no use for them.  (Or at least I do not know of
any.)  So it would be mostly a waste of space.

Tag writing is something I don't know much about.  I deliberately left
out tag writing from emms-info-native.  There were two reasons: (1)
read-only was much easier to implement, and (2) with writing, there is
always a risk of data loss.

I don't see a problem with tracktag not being updated if it still does
its expected job without fail.  What would be the benefit here?
