Assuming you have not disabled tag writing completely by unchecking the Options > General > Update tags when file info changes option, you may be experiencing a tag format issue.

Windows 7 Explorer is completely incompatible with the ID3v2.4 tag format and it can destroy all TXXX frames in MP3 ID3v2.3 files. MC uses the so called TXXX frames for many library fields including all user fields. Here's a recent topic about these issues at Hydrogen Audio: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=92813

You can use the "tag dump" feature in MC for checking the physical file tags: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=59513.msg430491#msg430491
