Hey so I've opened the Get Info but nothing seems to have changed... Its definitely Itunes... Hmm...I'm only doing a single track at the mo to test things out and learn how it all works... So because its on Itunes its blocked the data from getting over in some way?? ---

Other than the Artist and Title fields, most of these are not fields that iTunes or Apple Music would display. While the data remains in the file it is not displayed or accessible using these players. When you open the Get Info window you will see the fields Apple uses. Write some test data into those empty fields and save, then go back to mp3tag and check the Extended Tags window. These are the options you have to work with. ---
