Yeah, I just saw that I set only v1 tags. I'm somewhat puzzled that a program that is named "id3v2" only writes id2v1 tags. At least I can not find in the manpage how to set id3v2 tags without messing around with id3v1 tags before. Can you name a tool that works similar to id3v2 but can set id3v2 tags? Regards, Tino
