Found out what happened!

I accidentally forgot to remove writing APEv2 to the tags after helping a member on the forum with something which is a quite a while ago.

Screenshot of my settings if anyone come across the same problem. This was the last thing I thought of.

iTunes does write to the tags.

Steps to resolve same issue.  
Drag mp3s to mp3tag.  
Use settings in screenshot above.  
Remove tags. CTRL+R  
Save. CTRL+S  
Tags reappear as in iTunes
