I am having a heck of a time to get MusicBee to read .oog metadata. I can write the tags just fine in  Mp3tag & Foobar. Both save the tags & retrieve them later. But MusicBee will not. I can edit them in MusicBee tag editor, save, come back to the file later, and all tags are gone. MusicBee will play the files just fine & even convert them to .mp3. But the converted mp3 has the exact same problem with the metdata.

Does MusicBee just not support tags for this format?

It does support them.  Check one of the problem files with ogginfo.exe and see if any warnings come up; e.g.:

ogginfo.exe -v myfile.ogg

You can get ogginfo.exe from the Vorbis-tools package here: https://www.pazera-software.com/build/vorbis-tools/

Also for the heckuvit try re-scanning the file in MB after you edit the tags, although technically if the editing was done with the MB editor that shouldn't be necessary.

For the file you sent i am having no problems reading or writing tags. I see you are using an old version of MB, so try updating to the latest that is available on the first forum topic
