ID3 Tags Disappearing in Explorer

So, I've had this issue forever now, though I never had it with any other players which is why I'm sure it's Foobar.

Basically, after listening to a song, sometimes at random it will remove the MP3's tags from appearing in windows explorer.
The tags are still actually there though, then to fix it I have to open the album in MP3Tag and just click save, the tags will then appear as normal.

It's not a massive issue, but still a little annoying. Here's my components in case these are to blame rather than Foobar itself.

Thanks.

It sounds like an ID3 tag version issue. Explorer uses ID3v1 or ID3v2.3, older versions of foobar2000 default to ID3v2.4, which Windows Explorer can't read.

Which version of foobar2000 are you using?

That was fast. I just quickly messed around with it, and you're right, it was a version issue. My Foobar is version 1.1.10
I've enabled compatibility mode tagging to fix it now though.

So, thank you!
