ID3v2.2 was the first version of the ID3v2 standard. ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 standards have replaced ID3v2.2, which is considered obsolete now.
The Tag Editor can parse show tags in obsoleted ID3v1 and ID3v2.2 formats and save them in ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4 formats, with or without ID3v1. The steps for upgrading ID3v1 and ID3v2.2 tags in your MP3 files are provided below.
