That sounds strange to me and I think you don't have a clean installation of Mp3Tag.  
Are you really using Mp3Tag under a user name "admin"?  
Is it a portable installation?

M3Tag uses this temp folder for portable installations.

I'm just speculating as to the cause and am absolutely not sure if I'm right:  
You start Mp3Tag under an account with administrative rights from another user account. Mp3Tag uses this temporary path to which your standard player has no access rights.  
Maybe @Florian can correct me or confirm.
