Metadata duplicated after tagging with Audacity

[Gman]

I add the metadata of the audio file in Audacity. Upon opening the file in MP3Tag, the info in the "Year" and "Comment" fields is duplicated. The info in all of the other fields appears correctly, not duplicated. Is there a way to stop the app from duplicating the data?

Also, can the saved metadata be imported? When I revise a project, I must type in the info again in some of the fields.

Audacity. Upon opening the file in MP3Tag, the info in the "Year" and "Comment" fields is duplicated.

See e.g. here:

Tag anomaly

Using mp3tagv2.73 with Windows 7 sp1 Home premium. When I edit a ID3.2 tag in Audacity and then view the tag with Mp3Tag, some of the fields (perhaps only the numeric ones like "Year", e.g.; 2015 show up as 2015\\2015. When I reopen the file in Audacity and other editors it displays correctly.

This is a known and still open bug from Audacity since more than 3½ Years (5.9.2021):

Audacity writes double Year and Comment metadata (but only for other apps)

This issue was closed on 7 July 2022 with the status "Closed as not planned".

There is a larger "Improved metadata handling in Audacity" collection issue still including above issue #1620.
