Hello

In options/configuration I can select the Tagg Versions I want MP3tag to read/write etc.

 ![Captura de pantalla 2025-08-10 a les 12.19.38](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/d/c/dcb9db6925bc2f5b6c4380f5e45e19da5ef6bfc1.png)

But when I see the metadata of a track “cmd+t” it does not show which tagg versions the track is using (as Windows version used to do).

 ![Captura de pantalla 2025-08-10 a les 12.08.01](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/f/5/f51b44dbbcb315f2ae77cbf36ad61dbccb5f716d.png)

So, how can I see the tagg versions a song is using?

Thank you

You can see it via the **Tag** column in Mp3tag's File List.

I do not see it.

If I am not wrong the tag column is the right side of the window. These are all the columns I have active. Can you please tell me which column shows the tagg versions?

It's the third column, Filename, Path, **Tag** , ... and shows, e.g., `ID3v2.4 (ID3v1, ID3v2.4)`.

This indicates that ID3v2.4 is displayed (the value before the parentheses `%_tag_read%`) and that the file contains ID3v1 and ID3v2.4 (the value inside parentheses `%_tag%`

Ouch yeah 😅 sorry for not seeing

BTW Would be very useful to see the tag versions on the Extended Taggs window cmd+t. Hope you can add it on following MP3tag versions.
