Klaus, one thing you might check for - see if there are an v1 tags at the begin of the file *after* the v2 tags i.e [V2 Tag][V1 Tags][MP3 data][V1 Tags]
I was bitten by this issue on about 30 of my songs. Don't know how it got that way, but the first set of V1 tags were always used for display. Editing in RB would cause the V2 data to be shown for a fleeting sec or two. you can check in the ghex dump & see if you have multiple TIT etc. tags at the begin. If you do, solution is to use id3v2 to strip the V2 tags (it will remove the begin V1 ones also) & retag them. Hope this helps. -skc "Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die".
