Hi,

Whenever I launch mp3tag it loads the default columns. How do I make it remember the columns from the previous session on startup?

That what you want is AFAIK the default behaviour of MP3tag.  
Do you get any error messages when you close MP3tag?

No error messages. But I am running it in WINE... That might affect it?  
It's saving all other settings apart from columns

I don't know much about that WINE.  
So I would check ownerships and other access rights and what the difference is in respect to other MP3tag configuration files.
