Your ripper is putting ID3v2 tags (and presumably ID3v1 tags for compatibility) in the MP3 file. I believe that Easy CD-DA uses the same id3lib library as Emplode. You're then editing the tags in a program that doesn't support ID3v2 tags, so it's only changing the ID3v1 tags. Thus, they get out of sync.

Generally ID3v2 tags are more complete than ID3v1 tags, so the id3lib library uses them in preference.

There's not a lot we can do about it, except recommend that you use a tag editor that reads ID3v2, or stop using a ripper that writes them. Sorry.
