Because I'm usually working on my whole library at once in MP3tag (thousands of files) it would be nice if the current highlighted file were still highlighted (and shown in the current pane) after Refresh File View instead of the list reverting to start with the first file in the current sort sequen…

I am not quite sure why you need to refresh the file list ... Ctrl-T re-reads the tags. Also, missing fields could be filtered with MISSING F3 toggles the filter. I would assume that either the list is then reduced to a handlable amount of files in which a particular file could easily be found…

I need to refresh the file list because when I have edited the file in Audacity I filed it with a new name (added -a to the filename) because I need to keep the new and old copy - the old copy has the tags I need to re-add to the new copy. Otherwise if I file the edited file with the same name in Au…

[image] RACooper: I need to refresh the file list because when I have edited the file in Audacity Isn't this a question of workflow - e.g. yu could select all the files that you want to treat even in MP3tag, then copy all of them to a new folder, edit files in Audacity, if this is mandatory (…

Copying all the files I want to change into new folders is more work than scrolling down a list after Refresh because they are not all in the same folder to start with so I would need to create muliple folders to avoid having to try to work out which folder each new file belongs in when I copy back.…

[image] RACooper: I wasn't aware I could copy a file to a new folder in MP3tag See Edit>Copy ... This copies (initially) all the selected files to the selected folder - but if you use either Convert>Tag-Filename to create a folder structure based on tags or the equivalent as an action, you w…

[image] RACooper: I'm using MP3tag to add back tags that have been lost when a file is saved in Audacity. Which file-format are we talking about? WAVE?

filetype is MP3 - Audacity loses album art (cover type in MP3 = front cover or artist), and blanks Discnumber and Album Artist but retains all other fields such as Project and Contributing Artists

Yes, as I am generally only editing the waveform shape in Audacity then copying the tag data is probably the best solution, although in an ideal world I still think MP3tag should respect the "current file is displayed after an action". Thanks also for the idea of using Convert>Tag-Filename to move …

[image] RACooper: but retains all other fields such as Project and Contributing Artists This looks to me like your Audacity only write ID3V1 tags - I think there are settings in Audacity that manage this behaviour. https://wikieducator.org/Using_Audacity/Editing_ID3_Tags

After saving with Audacity, MP3tag reports the tag as ID3v2.3 (ID3v2.3). After adding the cover art back, MP3tag reports the tag data as ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3 APEv2). I've been using Audacity 3.0.2 but I just tried 3.2.1 which has the same problem. I note that Metadata Tags Editor - Audacity Manua…

This has been a common Audacity reported issue that we have seen here previously. I have had this happen myself and cannot confirm why, when only one date has been written in Audacity.
