Yes, I saw that. NO_ITUNES_HACKS must not be defined when building to  
have the iTunes workarounds.
But the problem is that taglib only sets the Genre as text ("iTunes  
hack") when explicitly calling "setGenre". If the tag is just read by  
taglib and then saved (without changing the genre), the text is  
converted from text to number. So this bug was not fixed for every  
case. As a workaround I call setGenre just before saving the tag as  
written above. Works fine for me.
