Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: amarok
Version: 1.4.7 (KDE 3.5.8)
Amarok is removing ID3v2 tags in mp3 files while editing track
information. Here are two behaviors that I have found.
A. mp3 file with id3v1 and id3v2 tags. Upon editing track information,
only id3v1 tags are left, and id3v2 tags are removed.
B. mp3 file with only id3v2 tags. Upon editing track information, only
id3v2 tags are converted to id3v1 tags, and id3v2 tags are
removed.
I couldn't spot any option in the settings to ensure that id3v2 tags are
used.
Here is a screen capture:
1. File with id3v1 tag
$ id3v2 -l 01\ -\ Sona\ Mohapatra\ -\ Bolo\ Na.mp3

This bug maybe related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/27884 , but I
believe this is a different and serious problem because it affects my
Sansa mp3 player which is reported to only work with ID3V2 player.
