I know what you said.  
But that does not anwer what you did in respect to ...  
... Mp3tag and Windows version  
... which result you got when you checked problematic files for errors (with the linked tools)  
Also, a screendump of the extended tags dialogue would be nice.

Esp. the use of Audacity is not the best way to tag files, see here:

> 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.

or here:

> When entering the Year and comments in Audacity's tag panel and opening the tracks to tag in MP3Tag, there is a double Year ie:1967\\1967, and the same goes for the comments, should I put one in. Is there any way of stopping this from happening short of not entering anything? It would save some time. Just curious.

Perhaps you could supply a file that does not behave the way that you want it.
