what else is to say? you have genre tag filled out, change anything else and they are erased and the field becomes blank, and you have to fill genre tag again what can i even try to do against a bug like this? as said this started with 3.21

What kind of files are you treating? What do the settings look like in Options>Tags>Mpeg in respect to reading, writing tag versions? What does the extended tags dialogue look like for a single of these files? What to the settings look like for the field GENRE in the tag panel field definition?

If I may butt in here, I had this problem once myself. It is not a bug. It comes from a user setting in the Options menu. At some point you set the default value for the Genre field to < Blank >. So Mp3Tag obediently removes that value whenever the file is saved. In the Options menu click Edit …

no thats not it. i just tried setting it to keep, it works for one time. In the next change the genre field is deleted again the way it is now i would have to set "keep" every single time i make a change? thats annoying as hell. it was not like this on previous versions.

flac and wav files idv1 and idv2 utf 16 its set to keep, also in the options/tag panel /genre also as keep

yes, that is how mine is set, with "keep"

same thing, doesnt matter if i select 1 or 100 files, as soon as i change anything, the genre gets deleted even if while changing the album image

Genre deleted if any other tag is changed
