Hello, I manually changed tags in my mp3's by right mouse click properties and then adjusting the year-tag. But that year tag is not shown when I open this mp3 file in mp3tag. How is this possible?

Which tag version do you read and write?  
See File\>Options\>Tags\>Mpeg for the settings and the dialogue title of the mentioned dialogue for the list of present tag versions.

The windows explorer is no tagging program.  
Please show us the other requested information.

In principle: yes.  
Is this one of the files that you treated with WE?  
Because that looks like the WE did not write anything to the file.

sometimes the WE writes tag data in priv frames which are not supported by MP3tag.  
Could you enter the following filter  
`%_id3v2_unknown_frames% PRESENT`  
and see if any of the previously tagged files with WE appear?  
You could add a column with  
Value: %\_id3v2\_unknown\_frames%  
and see which frame is not supported by MP3tag.

Press F3 a couple of times to see what appears then.  
That is the area to enter a filter.

There where 2 steps, right?

1. apply the filter
2. check the column which frame would be the unknown one.

Of yourse, that order is not mandatory.  
But - you can sort by the column for unknown frames just like any other column. So try ascending or descending to see which files have unknown frames.  
If there is nothing in the column, it would also help if you could show us the column definition.

Also, occasionally, it may help to have a look at the documentation:

> **[Filter and Search – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/filter/)**
>
> Documentation on Filter and Search and keywords to form complex filter expressions. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
