It’s been awhile since I used MP3TAG so I don’t know if this is previous behavior or not, but when I search by artist and title and select the proper Album it naturally brings up the track list with the first song. When I scroll down to the right title and highlight it, the proper title and track number now shows in the upper left box. Then when I click on OK it defaults to track 1 title and places the wrong title and track number in the file properties.

I should mention I’m searching with Discogs Artist + Title.

Please ensure that you have aligned your tracks from your web source (such as Discogs) with your local tracks.

Sometimes you need to move them up or down like this:

> As @ohrenkino wrote: @peterb You can do this for multiple selected tracks at once or for every track individually: [MoveMBResultUpOrDown]

I’m doing 1 song at a time but that might be what I need to do. I don’t understand though why when you scroll down in the song title list and select the proper title it becomes the title in the top left hand box with the correct track number title and composer(s) then press ok the 1st track title and info goes into the tag instead of whats in the in the top left hand box in discogs.
