hi,
in mp3tag, under "File" you can click "Save Configuration" and that backs up the settings and so on for mp3tag (or so i think).
i did exactly that, and it made a zip file for me.
i now want to restore that zip file to a new install of mp3tag. (both are the current ver) but i can't see how to restore it?!
i'm confused, how do you do it? please help!

it would be nice if "restore config" was built into the app however imo, even if all it did was point to this link! but thx, i love the app!

I agree. It almost doesn't make sense having a 'Save configuration' from within the program without also having a 'Restore configuration'.
