Tags not transferring to mobile

Now, I preface this by saying it may not even be a MB issue, but I do have way too many files and I'd rather look up for a solution instead of re-tagging all the (many) songs on my cellphone.

I use .flac, and there's this issue with the tags (specifically on the artists tag) where they appear just fine and nicely tagged on MB, but when I transfer them to my phone, it will only display the first artist listed. I initially thought it could be an issue with the files that aren't official on streaming services (like covers or live streamed versions of songs), but it also happens with files downloaded from Spotiflac for example.

I also thought it could be an app issue, but upon trying Samsung Music and Musicolet, in both cases, neither read the other artists.

Again, I'm only asking because the alternative is too much of a hustle, and I'd like to avoid re-tagging over 500 hundred songs on a phone. I'm hoping that even if it's not a MB issue, someone might still give me some light as to how to solve this.

Odd recurring issue - Musicbee overwrites Genre tags on ALL files without asking

I've been using Musicbee for several years and it's great, other than this one weird problem. I have a side panel set up to show the genres. Every once in a while (with no apparent input), it will overwrite the genre tag on all 2,000+ files to show "All (50 items)." With '50' being the number of genres that were present before they were overwritten.

This has happened maybe 5-10 times. I can't find anyone else with a similar problem. It does not ask. It does not confirm. It just writes new tags to every song in my library. 'Undo' does nothing. The only way to fix it is to replace the files with a backup. It's pretty tedious.

I set this panel up under "Edit Preferences > Layout(1) tab > Arrange Panels button". It's the "Left Main Panel" labeled as Library Explorer, grouped by Genre. Musicbee version 3.5.8698.

Any thoughts? I disabled the ability to edit tags from the main window, but the problem persists.

I remember years ago I was a big fan of music bee

then today in the morning I was like wait why not just install it again? and damn I'm glad I did. My current theme is just darkLIME and it's nice and subtle, especially when you highlight a specific track. I forgot it just knew how to handle large collection of flacs too so that was nice. Everything worked out of the box, and didn't have to stress about it.
