Maybe not the end. I seem to vaguely remember MS having a recovery procedure for such a case, as long as you have your original certificate and serial for Win 7.

Here you are - you can download an ISO file for your original version of Windows 7 if you enter your original product key: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery.

Well, I give up!. I tried all the possibilities with the Chain command and the result is still the same. It seems I will have to go editing one by one, after normalizing large collections.

Thanks anyway.

Best for all

Javier

To the best of my belief, the below procedure retains the seven standard tags that you see in the Audacity Metadata Editor:

Then File > Apply Chain... , select the Chain you created and choose Apply to Files.... This opens a file dialogue where you can select audio files in a single directory on which to run the Chain.
If it doesn't work for you, please upload an example file somewhere that demonstrates it does not work. If there is an unintended bug, we can try to fix it.
