My initial fix with mp3 tag wasn't what actually fixed it. I tried so many different things that I thought that was it until the problem came up again. When you are deleting your extra ID3v2 or APEv2 tags (stuff that isn't really standard from what i can tell, be it comments, itunes tags etc. etc.), you may get an [empty] column in your your column browser. The fix is to highlight all the files you just deleted the tags from, right click then hit edit. After that you will notice 3 dots next to your artist, click it. You will get a window that pops up named "multiple artist splitter". Leave the fields under the splitter blank and update. After this happens every one of your artists name will be untagged. After you do this go to edit on the top of your music bee and hit undo for all the files you just untagged. This will fix it. Hope this helps anybody that has had this issue.
