Taglib query

[Mike Van rhijn]

Hi Lukáš

Thanks for the response. I can confirm that the problem indeed disapeared 
earlier today when I started modifying the ID3v1 tags as well. I then assumed 
what you stated below.I'm glad you confirmed this as it helps me to better 
understand the inner workings.

Regards,
Michael

Yes, this is the right place to ask. Your mail from yesterday also
went through, it was just delayed for moderation (it usually should
only happen once, when you send something from an unsubscribed email
address for the first).

I think the problem is that you are modifying only the ID3v2 tag, but
there is still data in the ID3v1 tag. TagLib currently has a piece of
code in there that copies data from the ID3v1 tag to the ID3v2 tag.
This is the probably the best behavior, but it currently works like
that. Can you try it deleting the data also from the ID3v1 tag solves
the problem?
