To keep my DB up to date I checked my music for tag mismatches (Files to Edit>DB / Tag mismatches). Several tracks were found. After marking the tracks I updated the tags by pressing Ctrl S.
Checking again for mismatches resulted in the same list of tracks with mismatches.
What is wrong?

Nothing is wrong if you see nothing wrong with your files, Files to Edit is just a tool to help identify files that may need attention. Sometimes it's due to ID3v1 vs ID3v2 differences in MP3 files.

Re: Problems with Files to Edit>DB / Tag mismatches?
That seems to be an inadequate answer.
Hi sonos
have you noticed that the tags that are mismatched are marked via in the report via shading?
Try right clicking the heading line of the report, and then use "Choose Columns" option to add every column.
That should alert you to where MM5 see mismatches, and may help you to understand the issue better.
Selecting mismatched tracks, and pressing Ctrl+S should resolve the differences.
Regardless of what LowLander says I would assume that any remaining differences are an issue that the Devs should investigate. ... I get no such persistent issues, and I think that it is reasonable expectation that if MM5 wrote the tag, that is should get a match when it rereads it.
I would open a Support Ticket, and attach one of the tracks and a zipped copy of your MM5.db.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

Check the ID Tags with some external Tool like MP3Tag, dir those tracks. Had the same issue, in my case some of the userfield tags were doubled (tags were saved twice with different values), and Ctrl+S wouldn't solve that.

Re: Problems with Files to Edit>DB / Tag mismatches?
I thought if you update the tags with Ctrl S (after running "DB / Tag mismatches") then they match in the DB and in the tracks (no matter which column is marked).
Now, I have added all columns to observe the column of tag mismatch. Then I marked some lines (tracks) of the found tag mismatches and started the update (Ctrl S). Interestingly, the marked lines (tracks) appeared again in the list after I started "DB / Tags mismatches" again.

I have also investigated the problem with Mp3Tag and can confirm your result.Check the ID Tags with some external Tool like MP3Tag, dir those tracks. Had the same issue, in my case some of the userfield tags were doubled (tags were saved twice with different values), and Ctrl+S wouldn't solve that.
Re: Problems with Files to Edit>DB / Tag mismatches?
For MP3 you can try Clear Tags before Update Tags (embedded Artwork will be lost). Sometimes there are corruptions in tags which can include multiple entries for the same tag.

Re: Problems with Files to Edit>DB / Tag mismatches?
They do, ie. all tags are updated from the db. I was just meaning that the shading gives visibility, provided the column is selected for display.

Re: Problems with Files to Edit>DB / Tag mismatches?
Yes, but if there are duplicate tags (in my case it was custom fields, one of which was saved multiple times with different values), only ONE of the tags is saved again, but (presumably) all versions are read, and that leads to a "mismatch".
i did a clean up with MP3Tag, and that solved it for me: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=99331&p=482964#p482964
