Okay, I just got bitten by the tag bug.

I just rebuilt my empeg after losing a hard disk. I didn't realize that many of my files had V2 tags on them because I'd never looked to see. I never needed to check at the time because, since this only applies to my older MP3 files, the empeg didn't accept V2 tags at the time. It happily used the V1s that I'd added to the files.

I thought I was done rebuilding my old playlists and uploading my old songs. But suddenly I've discovered a bunch of incorrect tags that I need to hand-fix. Ick. The new software used some V2 tags I didn't know existed.

I think it would be really really neat if emplode did this:

- As it's processing a file for addition, see which tags it's got.
- If both are there, compare the V1 tag to the V2 tag.
- If the left$(30) of each V2 tag field is the same as the corresponding V1 tag field, then use the V2 tag and move on.
- If any of the fields do not match, put up a dialog showing the two tags side by side and ask which one you want to use.
- In that dialog, have a checkbox that lets you say "V1 to all" or "V2 to all"... but only for that particular drag-and-drop operation. The next drag-and-drop, reset it.
