When I enter txt in the various fields such as comments, Title, Artist etc I get a saving notification but nothing is saved in any of the fields? Am using 64 bit Windows 10.
Thanks

How do you know that nothing is saved? Does Mp3tag show nothing or is it another piece of software?
What are your settings in `File -> Options -> Tag - > MPEG` in Read and Write?
What kind of tags does your file have already before you try to write? For that have a look in the extended tag-view (Press ALT+t).

Also make sure you have no duplicate fields for Title, Artist, Album, ... in the Tag Panel on the left. You can remove any duplicates at "Options \> Tag Panel".

I've attempted an explanation here:

Regarding the duplicate fields: you're not the first one to report this, but I have really no idea what is causing the issue. I've changed the standard fields (title, artist, album, ...) to be configurable, so they become part of the user-defined fields at "Options \> Tag Panel". To achieve that, Mp3tag adds the standard fields if the previous version is before v2.88c (this is the development version were I've change…
