tag changes not registered even after saving?

[bkozell]

Thanks for the input. Only two or three of my files had APE, and the issue was occuring with the files that had both V1 and V2 tags. However, after more digging on the forums, I came across another post very similar to yours. They indicated that in order to avoid the issue where tags weren't always saving, to stick with only one tag type.

Post is found here:

save tag

I've already changed all of my tags to IDE3v2.3 using the process you outlined, but have yet to try editting a bunch of tags to see if the issue is resolved. Prior to the change, almost all of my music used both V1 and V2 tags. As I type this, I'm only writing v2 tags now.

Just a thought - since this issue occurred with some (but not all) files with both IDE3v1 & v2 files, would it be possible there was corruption somewhere? The cut & paste feature would essentially correct this, since the cut is clearing the tags.

You would have to have a look at what kind of tags you read and which are present in your files.
THe culprit is usually APE.
This dominates (in MP3tag) all other tags.
So what you should do is the following:
Read the files that do not behave in the way they should.
Set a filter (press F3 to get the filter input box at the bottom) and enter:
%_tag% HAS APE
If this displays any files: there you have it.
Set File>Options>Mpeg
Read: APE, V1, V2
Write: V1, V2
Delete: APE, V1, V2

The select all files, cut the tags with the the context menu function and insert them immediately afterwards.
Now check if your files show all the information you want after you have edited them.
