AUTO mode uses tag formats recommended by developers of media format.
Program reads tag-information only once and not refreshing it when you switched to another Tag mode. Press F5 to update view.
Program never deletes any unrecognized or unused tag fields.
Since version 4.9 TagScanner fully support Unicode (tags data, file names) on Windows NT/2000/XP systems and higher.
All tag standards except ID3v1, ID3v2 and APEv1 always save data in Unicode. ID3v1 and APEv1 tags don't support Unicode at all and ID3v2 tags can optionally save Unicode data (Always ON by default).
If you interact with programs, portables or car audios which have problems with ID3v2 tags stored in Unicode just select option Never for ID3v2 unicode saving option.
ID3v2 tags stored in beginning of the file, so program needs to move all file data and that's why write process may take too much time at first time . OGG, WMA, MP4 files are recreated anew in most cases, that's why write process may take appreciable time for every change.
