Hi.  
I just upgraded to MP3Tag v3.20. I had a well used regular expression, as well as a couple of other scripts, which I no longer have in v3.20. Do I now have to re-code all those scripts or is there some way, or place, to access them in v3.20?

Did you use a different installation mode than before? Standard vs. portable or vice versa?  
Or did you switch from 32- to 64-bit plus you changed the installation mode?

Usually, an update keeps the settings.  
See the documentation for possible previous places for your user-settings:

> **[Download and Installation – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/installation/)**
>
> Details on where to download Mp3tag, Mp3tag's different installation modes, and system requirements for the usage of Mp3tag. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

Hi ohrenko

Yes, I changed from 32 bit to 64 bit. Now what?

right next to the download link was/is a link to notes that best should be followed:

> [@Notes on the 64-bit version of Mp3tag](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/notes-on-the-64-bit-version-of-mp3tag/57250):
>
> I've released a [64-bit version of Mp3tag](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) a few days ago and received a few questions about differences between the 32-bit version and the 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 …

You could try to un-install the 64-bit version,  
install the 32-bit-version in the same way you did before you switched to 64-bti,  
check, whether the settings you are now missing, are still there,  
save the configuration in a safe place,  
un-install the 32-bit-version,  
install the 64-bit-version,  
restore the settings from the saved configuration.

If the settings are not visible after an update, it's often related to a [_Portable_ version of Mp3tag](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/installation/#portable) being used either before the update or after.

The _Standard_ installation preserves previously used settings, even when updating from 32-bit to 64-bit.
