ID tag problem FLAC to MP3

[Dr Klovernutz]

I recently tagged a bunch of my Flacs to archive then on DVDR
one of the main reasons I purchased dbPowerAMP was for the audio file conversion and maintain ID tags.

when I created my MP3s, only part of the ID tags display in winamp, windows media player, or itunes; but when I right click on the audio file all of the original ID tag info is there. In all 3 of the media players Genre stays blank and the other tags are all cut short.

Originally I thought maybe these players will only display a certain number of characters, BUT in windows media player I edited one of the tags, then reopened the same mp3 in itunes and the change to the tag reappeared.

Also if I retype (or change) the info (which is longer than the current # of characters) it will display completely in all 3 players, yet when I right click the mp3 the original dbPoweramp info stays the same........

why won't all of the original tag info I typed into the FLAC just transfer in the first place??

FYI
in the dbPowerAMP popup it says my FLACs are Vorbis comment
and MP3 are APE v2 & ID3v1

Re: ID tag problem FLAC to MP3

found problem
under configuration I needed to adjust mp tag options to include ID3v2.3

Also
quick FYI for FLAC users out there
keep FLAC tag options at vorbis only (if you add ID3 v1 or v2 winamp won't read the tags for FLAC anymore)
