1. Set MM to ID3v2.3
2. Fill involved field and save tags
3. make a copy of file
4. Switch MM to ID3v2.4
5. Use folder browser to load file and Update/Sync tag (CTRL+S) of file copy to ID3v2.4
6. MM do not import/see Involved field of file copy on MM restart?
For ME it works.
I'm not surprised that it works like this.
You are using MMW to tag the file and to convert the format from ID3v2.3 to ID3v2.4. MMW writes the Involved entry into the ID3v2.3 IPLS frame and also reads it from it, even if it is set to ID3v2.4. You can also see this if you look at the header of the .mp3 file in a hex editor. This does not comply with the ID3v2.4 standard (
see point 4.2.2 in this document).
If you use an external tagger (e.g. MP3Tag or MusicBrainz Picard) which adheres to the ID3v2.4 standard, MMW unfortunately does not recognise the Involved People field when the .mp3 files are added.
You can try it out for yourself:
1. Set the external Tagger (e.g. MP3Tag or MusicBrainz Picard) to ID3v2.4 only.
2. Fill invoved field with the external tagger
3. Set MM to ID3v2.4 only.
4. Import file in MMW
5. The Involved People field is not recognised by MMW.
