Hello there,

I have a problem.  
When i tag a music file after a while it returns to its previous state and discards my tags. Putting in mind that when i tag with media monkey it doesn't do that. But i love Mp3Tag more so please how can i fix that?

Thanks in advance

Check the settings in File\>Options\>Tags  
and how you treat APE tags.  
If you read but don't write them, you keep seeing APE tags in Mp3tag as they overwrite ID3v2 and V1 tags.  
Best would be to avoid APE tags alltogehter: don't read or write them, just delete them.
