Hi - is it possible for MP3tag to update changes made to files in other programs? eg if I have converted and overwritten a song, I must reload the song in MP3tag to see the changes. (These changes are seen automatically in all my other audio programs.)

Thanks!

That's my point. F5 reloads/refreshes the entire display of (many thousands of) songs in my Music folder if that's what I'm working with. What I was wanting is for individual file data to automatically be refeshed as they change; so, if you are doing a batch conversion of some description (say) you can watch progress and know what's happening song by song. Thanks anyway.

There is not automatic refresh available with Mp3tag. If you want to reload the tags of individual files you can use the [Ctrl+T] keyboard shortcut.

Kind regards
