I've found the column headings have disappeared. It didn't happen when I last used it (a couple of months ago). Updated to the newest version, but it is still an issue. Found a thread in the Support Category that indicated a fix, but I don't really understand it. Would someone please be able to …

Thank you. This only shows the symptom: no data for the name. I have no idea why, though.

Do you mean this one?

Where exactly do you need additional help around finding/renaming mp3tag.cfg or usrfields.ini?
