Okay, I'm having a pretty big problem with foobar and it's got me seriously stumped.

So I use a program called MP3 Collector to manage my mp3s, tag them, rename them, etc. However, the program updates the ID3 tags (v1 & v2), Windows sees the changes, Winamp sees the changes but Foobar doesn't. How Foobar is reading the OLD data is beyond me. If I go into Foobar and change it using "Show File Info (Advanced)" I can see the changes in MP3 Collector. If I go back into MP3 Collector and change the file AGAIN, then close Foobar and re-open it, it will have the new data.

W.T.F.?!?

I don't use the database feature, so it shouldn't be storing any file data. I can't figure out if it does store data anyhow, and if it does how do I get it to not do that? It's really obnoxious.

Thanks.

EDIT: Okay, I found if I right-click the file in Windows Explorer and go to "Edit Tag" I can see the information that Foobar is reading.. so what the hell is going on here? Why does it display the file with the ID information I just entered and not the ID information that Foobar sees? And why does Winamp display the proper ID tags?

EDIT2: I think it's a Windows problem... It obviously reads and stores the ID3 tag when it first sees the file, but I don't know how to clear the ID information and have it re-index the new stuff.

Figured it out finally. It was reading the APE tags which dbpoweramp stupidly writes to the files by default. Too bad I have to load every file I've ever modified with that program and rip the APE tag. MP3tag does the job very well.
