Hi @Paul-Fegan, Did you 'save' or 'Save as' the PCM file prior to encoding the MP3? If you do reinstall SFP-18, I would first try "Reset all preferences and clear cached data" in SF's 'File' menu. If that does not help and you plan to

I am not familiar with "version 26.0.0.23 (DP3)" Are you referring to the MP3 metadata using Sound Forge? Audio Studio or Pro). There is no Sound Forge version 26 that I am aware of. Otherwise, try resetting Sound Forge and clearing the cache.
