Beware.  EasyTag uses the unmaintained id3lib library, which does not
support ID3v2.4, which has been the current version of ID3 since 2000.
As such EasyTag will write ID3v2.3 files (which Amarok can read), but
Amarok writes ID3v2.4 files, which will cause EasyTag and other
non-modern programs to complain that there is no ID3 tag in the file.
