Following an email from uslacker I find it currently easier to post here as I have no access to my email account.

I have tested your process and it works fine for me; the tag sticks.

It is possible that Tag is rewriting the ID3v1 tag but displaying the ID3v2 tag. If I had the source with me maybe I could check this.

As the above poster points out, as Tag.exe cannot write ID3v2, so using it to amend a file with both ID3v1 and ID3v2 is probably not ideal anyway.

You could possibly use Tag/exe's --removeid3v2 switch to remove the ID3v2 tag first, but if you have both ID3v1 and ID3v2 then I assume you want them both there.

Maybe foobar's commandline format may be a batter alernative.

Sorry I can't be any more help.

OK - i tried adding --remove1d3v2u to the command line and that worked! Not sure I understand wh. If the ID3v2 tag exists, does tag not try to update the1d3v1 tag?

You might also google (or whatever) for 'id3mtag' which is a similar CLI, but writes ID3v2 if told to do so. It is freeware.

There is also 'atomicparsley' to be found at sourceforge, for mp4.

Tag.exe works great for me so far, for FLAC, and for receiving output from all but mp4 (.m4a files are what I'm working with).

I used ID3 renamer to tag all my MP3s and was 100% satisfied with it.

Just a reminder: id3lib (also available at the Utilities section) and btw. linked within the quoted description of TAG ... might be usefull with AHK's DllCall()

@ n-l-i-d : you could specify what can read/write, by example MediaInfo is only a tag reader, even BASS could do that.

@ Venia Legend i: id3v1 is so old and legacy, why removing id3v2? get a proper editor!
