Hello, I have a feeling this is in options somewhere but I can't see it. Anyway, I updated an MP3 to have no Composer. When I upload it to my server the composer field still exists. I have just noticed that if I right mouse click in Windows and edit ID-Tag the composer field is still displayed as t…

Here is a thread about a rather stubborn genre. [image] Genre tags hang around Support It could be that somewhere in the course of time you stopped updating APE tags (if you have any). You find out whether there are files with APE tags with a filter: %_tag% HAS APE All …

Thanks that seems a rather promising line. I did have APE not being read or written and I am not sure if they were being removed

You can filter for files with APE tags with %_tag% HAS APE

If I have the options for remove tag only on Ape and I removed tag from file will I lose all tag information or just the APE tag stuff?

Oh I tried that but I see I missed turning off the All ID3 step. Whoops! Thanks again

Sorry, another question. Is this likely to be the case with only my MP3s or also APE and Flac files? And is it a problem for APE files since that presumably is the default format for it?

THis is for MP3s only - and only if there are APE tags and these do not get updated. You could easily write them with MP3tag in addition to ID3Vx tags. Flac files have Vorbis Comments - which is something else.
