disable automatic tag update?

hi! i'm quite new to foobar and i was just wondering how can i disable it from automatically tagging my mp3 files? i've tried to search around and saw some discussions about replaygain deleting tags so i removed that foo_rgscan (not even sure if that's the right component to remove) from my components folder but still foobar updates some tags from my mp3s before closing the program itself. anyway, i prefer to tag things manually that's why i asked and hope someone could help me out. i'm sorry if this was posted before and missed it. thanks!

As far as I have been able to determine, Foobar is very obedient and will not do anything - including tag files - unless asked by the user.

It would help others here tremendously if you mention what tags are changing. 

Also, as I new user I would suggest working with the default user interface until you get a real good handle on foobar actions and abilities. ymmv

You're probably using an Unofficial playcount plugin. Install the official Playback Statistics plugin, you can find it here:

And if you're a new user my advice for you is to start with the default UI: it will save you from a lot of headaches...

thanks for the tip mates! i guess i'll be better off testing foobar with just the default components installed.

thanks again and i'll let you know when i've figured out what caused my issues.

EDIT: i've found out that it was the lyrics plugin having the default settings have caused my concerns. thanks to this link:
