I use APEv2 tags on all files including M4A, MP3, FLAC, etc. I don't have "Remove APEv2 tags" selected in the options, yet clicking Save after modifying some information deletes the entire tag. This only appears to occur with M4A files.

Look forward to fix.  
Cheers.

...what program writes APEv2 tags to MP4 files? This is not right.
