Installation

The Mp3tag installer provides three different modes for installation, Standard, Portable, and Store.

Standard

The Standard installation allows for adding Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts, Explorer context-menu extensions, and the use of Mp3tag for multiple different users of the system. The configuration files are kept separate of the installation.

You can install a newer version of Mp3tag over an existing installation. Mp3tag takes care of upgrading the internals and your configuration is preserved.

For a Standard installation, the configuration folder is at %APPDATA%\Mp3tag
When you enter this to the address field of Windows File Explorer, it usually expands to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag

Portable

The Portable installation doesn’t install Mp3tag on the system but instead creates a usable copy of Mp3tag including it’s configuration in a self-contained folder. You can use this installation type if you want to have Mp3tag on a USB drive, if you’re on a system with limited permissions, or if you want to use multiple versions or configurations in parallel.

For a Portable installation, the configuration folder is identical to the installation folder.

Store

The Microsoft Store installation is only available for Windows 10 and later.

For a Microsoft Store installation, the configuration folder is at
C:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Packages\35795FlorianHeidenreich.Mp3tag_rf0p6xgxmspcc\LocalCache\Roaming\Mp3tag\
