Someone here on the message board posted instructions for implementing an Mp3tag button on the vertical button bar in TC. It works great, and the program opens as it should. I'm fine using that instead of the context menu, so I'm just going to chalk up the context menu thing to some peculiarity on m…

Not sure if needed, but I used /fp:%P%N

Hi Florian, I just installed the new version of Mp3tag (after doing a deep uninstall of 3.18), and the context menu is now working correctly. Thanks!
