I’m going to start learning some of the Linux flac commands so that I can see what MP3tag is up to. You can tell from the title that it’s predisposed to mp3. It’s the best gui tag editor I’ve found for Windows, but if someone knows a better one, I’d love to hear about it.
Let me try removing the tags and I’ll report back.
I agree, Mp3tag is a decent metadata editor. I've even made contributions to the developer. I have to run it in PlayOnLinux on my Linux box.
However, it has many settings, some of whose default settings are problematic if you're not working with MP3 files. In particular, it's possible to get screwed up with FLAC files which use the VORBIS_COMMENT metadata block.
Speaking of default settings. It was the default settings in Exact Audio Copy which got you into this mess in the first place.
As an aside, I've acuumulated a whole roster of FOSS metadata editors on my laptop. Each has their pluses and minuses. Kid3 gets a lot of usage among Linux purists. MusicBrainz Picard is interesting to me but it is idiosyncratic.
I actually put together a quick-n-dirty Python program which delineates and then cuts off the ID3v2 tag from the beginning of the file. I'd be embarrassed to show my hackery to anyone else, but it worked for your few files.
Enjoy the music!
