When I edit tags within the app, everything looks fine: [SS1] But when I follow this instruction: [Tag FAQ] The result in a Windows 11 folder looks like this: [SS2] I suspect I'm missing something really basic, but I can't figure this out. Thank you for your help!

In the old days the WIndows Explorer could not cope with ID3V2.4 tags - so which tag version do these files have? If you are not sure, then please show us the screendump of the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T) of a single file.

Okay - I found this: [Advice] I did this: [Options] Now the extended tags dialog looks like this: [Extended tags - after]

Look at the dialogue title: it shows a bad tag header. So now the only thing that might help is to check the files for integrity.

Thank you, ohrenkino. I'll give it a shot.

Edited tags appear only within the MP3Tag app
