My problem is that SanDisk Sansa player started claiming the album is "unknown". I checked with "mp3info" and it said "does not have an ID3 1.x tag."

The problem occurs *only* after changing the tags in Rhythmbox (with Ubuntu 8.04), when lame created them it worked.

Apparently either the player does not support (fully) v2.x tags or the Rhythmbox makes some other error. I tried kid3 and it shows nothing in "Tag 1" and everything in "Tag 2: ID3v2.4.0".

In any case I wonder what is the reason to use v2.x tags? Is there a way to stop Rhythmbox using v2.x (and "only" use v1.x) tags?
