Hello, I'm a new user. Recently changes Itunes and using now MB. I liked very much the reescan function.

I just found one problem, at least, for me... When changins the tags, some files are not changed, just the information on MB tag. But when doing the same in iTunes, the files on explorer are always changed. Change the tag, change the information on file.

Any config to do the same in MB?

Welcome to the forum masopias.

This will probably need more details from you for anyone to understand what your issue could be.
Things like the file formats you are using, where you don't you see the changed tags, and where you do see them changed, etc.
Some screenshots would probably also help.

I'm using mp3 files. I discovered what to do.
When writing the artist on MB, I saw the file was not changed... the file outside MB, the file on explorer. And google drive does not do any sync, cause nothing was changed in the mp3 file. I guessed the informations on tags made inside MB was not attached in the real file on explorer. And when reescaning files, my tags editions was lost.

But, today, when doing the same and playing the music, in the same moment music are played, google drive sync the file... and the information on file explorer changes too.
It seems that my Tags editions only take effect outside MB when the songs are played. Dont know why, but at least I know what to do. Thanks for attention

It may be that you have set MusicBee to not change the file mod date/time, so the OS is not looking for this. Make sure this setting is unchecked in Preferences>Tags(1)>Tag Storage...
