I downloaded new mp3s and tried using the latest ver of mp3tag to enter the tag info. When I open the files with mp3tag, I can edit the tags and save the files, but new tag info does not show in Win 11 explorer. Any ideas?

I edited all the songs with the tags and album covers I wanted. However doing this prevented my computer (windows groove music - the default music app for windows I think) from playing th…
