Loosing Metadata when moving/copying music files

sal paradise 11:31 PM - 22 September, 2018
I'm on Mac's running Sierra

Did some google searches and didn't find that much info on this. Lately when I move/copy files from my itunes master library on my desktop to my itunes in my playout laptop any metadata in the "grouping" field is lost or reverts to an old tag. It's happening with both MP3s and AIFFs.

So I'm wondering if anyone has found any workflow/solutions to this? Or know why this is happening? It's only started happening to me in the last couple of months. Demoralizing because you put all this work into your metadata and then you lose it when you move/copy files to the laptop.
