Installation & Backup

Can I keep my settings when updating to a new version?

Yes, you can install a new version over an already installed version. The installation program will keep/upgrade your settings.

Can I backup my settings or use them on a different computer?

Yes,

  1. To backup your settings, please choose File → Save configuration.

  2. To restore the backup, you have to unzip the backup archive to the folder that opens when you choose File → Open configuration folder. Close Mp3tag to ensure that all files can be written.

For a Standard installation, the configuration folder is at %APPDATA%\Mp3tag which usually expands to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag

For a Portable installation, the program directory is used to store the settings.

For a Microsoft Store installation, the configuration folder is at C:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Packages\35795FlorianHeidenreich.Mp3tag_rf0p6xgxmspcc\LocalCache\Roaming\Mp3tag\
