What did you do exactly to delete the tags and write them again in MP3Tag? If you press ALT-t (Extended Tag-View) what is shown at the top of this window for "Tags"? What are your settings in Mp3Tag-\>File-\>Options-\>Tags-Mpeg. Have you tried to repair the files with the above mentioned tools after you erased all tags? ---

> [@Assassins](#): > > ALT+t (Extended Tag-View) The 1. Line is Album. With first line I mean the header of the window which is shown if you select 1 file and press ALT-t. You should also check this header with a file where you deleted the tags. You do not mention the essential options for read, write and delete. > [@Assassins](#): > > I have try MP3 Diags to delete the errors Try also mp3val. ---

> [@Assassins](#): > > Can you write the options i have to set. ??? There are no always right options because settings may sometimes have to be changed for special purposes. Normally the dafult settings are o.k.. So if you did not change anything there, these default settings should work (no writing of APE, deleting all)). ID3v2.3 has the best compatibilty with all players and operating systems. ID3v1 very limited and only needed for very old hardware players, because they don't know anything about 2.3 and 2.4. > [@Assassins](#): > > I try the mp3val later today If this does not work you can try for last resort to rebuild the mp3-stream. You can do this with the command-line tool ffmpeg or if you prefer a gui you can use Foobar2000. In Foobar select one or more files with the right mouse click and then "Utilities-\>Rebuild MP3Stream. ---
