# Mp3tag v3.15 released

I've just released Mp3tag v3.15 and wanted to outline some of the new features and changes:

### Support for 64-bit

Mp3tag now comes in two versions, the existing 32-bit and a new 64-bit version. To make it short, there should not be any noticeable differences except for two things:

- The 64-bit version uses 64-bits to address memory and is no longer limited to 2 GB per application. While the [Library](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/options/library) feature of Mp3tag is already a very viable solution for large libraries, loosening the memory restriction is one of the key benefits of 64-bit.

- ~~The 64-bit version has no support for TAK. TAK is a closed-source codec that is made available in Mp3tag by utilizing a DLL. This DLL is unfortunately only provided as 32-bit version at the moment and 64-bit processes cannot load 32-bit DLLs. But I’ve heard a 64-bit version is in the makings, so I'll add support when it's available.~~ **Edit** : Mp3tag v3.17 now also contains a 64-bit version of TAK.

Mp3tag 64-bit can only be installed on 64-bit versions of Windows. The recommended path is to uninstall the 32-bit version before upgrading — the uninstaller has an option to keep your configuration settings, but please backup your configuration settings via **File → Save configuration** anyway.

### Management of Filter Expressions

I’ve added an option to [manage the list](https://docs.mp3tag.de//manage-list) of filter expressions via the **Manage history…** item of the [Filter Helper menu](https://docs.mp3tag.de//menus/format-strings). This also allows for named filters, favorite filters for quick access, and the possibility to add descriptions for filters.

### Management of Format Strings

Similar to the filter expressions, I’ve added an option to [manage the list](https://docs.mp3tag.de//manage-list) of format strings at converters _Tag - Filename_, _Filename - Tag_, _Text file - Tag_, and _Tag - Tag_ via the **Manage history** item of the [Format String Helper menu](https://docs.mp3tag.de/menus/format-strings). It also allows for named format strings, favorite format strings for quick access, and the possibility to add descriptions for format strings.
