i've got this problem with the tags too. the situation is that the mp3's that i've tested was an album downloaded from the internet and then i recreated all the tags from the filename's of the songs with mp3tagstudio and it has written the v1 tags correctly but when i looked at the files with en hex-editor i've seen that there is at the beginnig of the mp3-files an v2 tag which seems to be there already as i got the files. so we need an option in emplode to set a preference on v1 or v2 tag's or something like that...
