I'm having some issues with the Mood and Mood2 tags.
When I add a Mood tag in an .mp3 file in Windows explorer, it doesn't show up in MP3Tag, and when I add a Mood Tag in MP3Tag it doesn't show up in explorer...
It's driving me mad! And, honestly, I'm not even sure where Mood2 came from - it may be something I set up a while back and have forgotten about.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

see this thread:

> Tip to whom it may concern There is a tag field MOOD to specify the character of the song in mp3tag. In Windows Explorer is an option to display tag info in content pane by selecting appropriate info fields for columns. If MOOD field is filled with mp3tag and MOOD is selected in WinExplorer it will be displayed blank. MOOD in WinExplorer corresponds to COMMENT MUSICMATCH\_MOOD field in mp3tag BR

Thanks for the info - does that mean I have to add text to the Comments tag in MP3Tag, prefixed with "MUSICMATCH\_"?

No, the field itself has to be called
COMMENT MUSICMATCH\_MOOD
The text in the field stays the same.

I see. And that tag will then live in the .mp3 file itself?

That is what MP3tag does: handle data in the file's tag.

I'm not getting this...
Do I need to create a custom tag in MP3Tag called %COMMENT MUSICMATCH\_MOOD%
BEcause I've tried that and it doesn't show up in the .mp3 file Mood tag?

I also found this thread:

and this one

> Hallo Leute, unter WMP 11 gibt es im Tag-Editor die Möglichkeit, eine Stimmung als Tag mit abzulegen. Jetzt habe ich mich gefragt, wo dieser Tag gespeichert wird, da MP3Tag den Tag nicht anzeigt (nicht mal unter "Erweiterte Tags..."). Wenn ich nun unter MP3TAG den Mood-Tag pflege wird dieser ebenfalls nicht im WMP angezeigt. Kann mir jemand sagen, wo und wann dieser Tag gespeichert wird? Ich tippe in der Datei, aber dann müßte MP3TAG ihn doch auch anzeigen, oder?
(which says that WE saves MOOD in a way that is not supported by MP3tag)
and the general problem could be that MOOD is a 2.4 field but WE does not support V2.4 so MS emulates the MOOD field in an imcompatible way.
