Modify MP3 NOT using save-as keeping MP3 tags

[btamxx]

Hi,

 

I searched this forum and can't find a specific answer. Also, it wont allow me to use 3 or less characters in the search so I can't use key search on 3 character file formats. Please advise how to do this.

 

My problem:

 

I want to save an MP3 file changing the compression settings and still keep the MP3 tags in tact.

 

I load an MP3 file, edit it, then save-as another file name. Unfortunately, it does not keep the original MP3 tags, they are totally lost. I tried to use the standard save (not save-as) but it did not allow me to change the compression settings as I can when using save-as.

 

Thanks.

 

Bill
