When in Explorer on a playlist I "Open with..." mp3tag, the file list is blank.

OK, and? Mp3tag isn't supposed to be used like that, so not a bug. 🙂 In order to pass a M3U file to Mp3tag, you have to call the program with /m3u:_path\_to\_m3u\_file_.

You can still use it, but Mp3tag tries to detect playlists (m3u and m3u8) and cuesheets (cue).

Btw, these command line parameters have never been officially documented 🙂

Kind regards,
