usage mp3tag with itunes - Windows10 issue Hi there, I currently have my large, complete physical music collection imported in iTunes in wave format. Within iTunes, on album level (showing albums), all cds are presented the correct way in the correct layout (except for album covers), which is grea…

I think it is an iTunes issue, see e.g. here: [image] Tags not working in iTunes? Support Hi. Firstly, apologies as I am a new user and this may be a stupid question. I have used the filename - tag functionality and I can see the properties of my wav files have been updat…

Regardless of the file format, if you make any changes to the files outside of iTunes, you will need to force it to look for these updates manually. See here for some suggestions. [image] Force iTunes To Update Track Info After Using MP3TAG Support For those with IOS devic…

Thanks for your reply Motley. But when I open the info of a track, it does not automatically refresh the artist and title that have been amended by mp3tag.Should I do something else for these wave music files?

I am not sure if this still works, but there are VB scripts that forces re-reads of the metadata from files. Eg http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp and look for ‘Update Tag Info’
