Sorry, tried for helping at forums, maybe there are answers in german, don't know... Testing a folder with 90 mp3...after saving tags, WINAMP shows the file information correctly for about the half of files and not for the other half. I know it has updated chnages because of the files correctly shown. All files are ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3) At Winamp Forums I read about its own DB, but didn't find much crossed info with MP3TAG. Thanks in advance and pardon me if this is a common old topic. ---

You would have to invoke the rescan of folders. So check the settings for the local database: [http://help.winamp.com/customer/portal/art...ary-preferences](http://help.winamp.com/customer/portal/articles/1280933-media-library-preferences) ---

> [@slyboogaloo](#): > > I cleaned the library before and now...no changest at all ☹ If you say that Winamp is allright, then you have to have a look at the files. Could you check them with mp3val (-\>google it, freeware) if they show problems. And if so, repair them and then see what Winamp does? ---
