There have been a few times when the "Comment" in Mp3Tag is not the same as Windows Explorer "Comments". When it happens, it's always all the songs in an album that I downloaded or imported at the same time.
For instance, "Tweezer (2010-07-03 Alpharetta, GA).mp3"...
in MP3tag, it shows the Comment tag that I manually added: "2010-07-03"
but in Windows Explorer it shows "phlb01d1_07_Tweezer" in the Comments field (and in the Details tab of the File Properties.)
I have manually removed the "phlb01d1_07_Tweezer" from the details tab which also removes the "2010-07-03" - which I can re-add. But I'd rather not do this for all these that are mismatched.
It's probably a problem of the language descriptor. if that does not match, you probably get 2 comment fields.
It would be easiest to run these files through mp3val and repair them.
Sounds like a strange issue, but I'll check it out. thank you!
(Oh and thanks for a script you wrote for me a couple months ago. I never posted a thank you to that one.
I scanned the ones showing a different comment field in MP3val and all had a State = "OK".
So I tried to change the Comment field in MP3Tag again, but the Windows file properties still shows the original comment.
is it an mp3 file?
Does the language that you use on your PC match the setting in File>Options>Tags>Enhanced
By default MP3tag uses English (as this is used by iTunes ...)
Also, you could check if you meanwhile see 2 comment fields in the Extended Tags dialogue (Alt-T)
Yes, it is an mp3 file.
Yes, all is set to English.
And YES, after hitting Alt-T, I do see "COMMENT" and "COMMENT COMMENTS" with the 2 different texts I mentioned!
