I believe that fb2k required an ID3v2 plugin to write v2 tags. Deleting your original tags seems like an awful design mistake!
I feel your pain: last month I finished checking >10,000 files for missing tags (and that was just looking for absent second values for some tags, not re-tagging everything!). I did exactly as you did: something broke my tags, and I backed up all the metadata before I realised it was borked. -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22035 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
