I want to install the 64-bit version. If I uninstall mp3tag 32-bit, will I lose my settings? In general, what files (from program files (x86) or/and roaming) must I save and reinstate - after the 64-bit installation - in order for the program to function exactly as it does now?
Here are some posts about up- and downgrading:
It's indeed the case, that any filters you're adding with v3.14b and beyond are not available when you downgrade to a previous installation. The latest versions are using a different data structure that is not accessible to previous versions.

I've also added some additional notes here:
I've released a 64-bit version of Mp3tag a few days ago and received a few questions about differences between the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version.
To make it short, there should not be any noticeable differences except for two things:
The 64-bit version uses 64-bits to address memory and is no longer limited to 2 GB per application. While the Library feature of Mp3tag is already a very viable solution for large libraries, loosening the memory restriction is one of the key benefits of …
