Please help. I did a search before posting my question but did not find a similar problem. Was wondering if anyone can help me.

I have the Mp3tag 2.59 Version. I added an album directory to mp3tag. I then highlighted all tracks and click REMOVE TAGS. I then made necessary changes to album tracks and add an album cover.

I then hit SAVE TAG. Everything is OK. When i check the original files from Windows Explorer, all the changes i made on Mp3tag did not appear including album cover.

The files are M4A from Windows but appeared as MP4 on Mp3tag.

Can anyone help me with this issue.
