tags on some files not fo;;owinbg

Hi
I am somewhat confused now. I have been editing some mp3s. I import them, edit , and then export them as a mp3(same parameters just with some material removed) again. For the first hundred or so the metadata followed with the save. That is I edited and did not have to reenter the meta data, it was there in the box as the original file had it. Now i have but some files which the metadata can be viewed in explorer when I get to the export save box it is clear. I thought it might be a permission problem so I gave all full permission but no joy. This is a windows 7 64 box and audacity is latest beta uni-code(1.3.13). I have also reinstalled audacity to see if that would help. What is the fix for this? If there is not one is there a tag program which will save the metadata in a file and reapply it in a batch mode to all files. Re entering the meta data manually for a few thousand files would not be fun. The data on most files is the album name, contributing artist, and the title.

What format are these files?
How are you viewing the metadata in explorer?
