It is bad because I tagged about 120GB of mp3 file with Tag&Rename. But I cannot see any of these tags. Also, I cannot edit any details of the mp3 files. Details are just grayyed. And there is no information like title, year... about the mp3 files.
That's maybe because Tag&Rename doesn't fully adhere to the ID3v2 standard. It's possible that it also is using ID3v2.4, which is known to be prone to errors because of the poor implementations of the standard.

You best bet would be to use a program that makes use of ID3v2.3, which is fully supported by Vista.

If you don't mind using undocumented (no help files) software, I could post a link to my own "MP3 Media Properties Explorer" that I created to overcome just this particular type of problem because I never did find an MP3 tagging software tat worked the way I wanted.

Let me know, and I'll see about uploading it to my site, and I'll post a link...

EDIT:
Try telling Tag&Rename to use the ID3v2.3 standard instead. You may have more success that way.
