checking the tags with kid3 showed them present and correct, created by asunder, which also created the appropriate directory structure artist/album/...

I just checked, and the artist tag in the output mp3 is ok. The problem is just in the output directory structure. It also claims unknown artist if I use artist-album output format instead of artist/album.

Thank you for the report.

This issue was fixed in 2018, and released in SoundConverter 3.0.1.

You can update your version to fix the problem.

Thanks. Looks like Ubuntu didn't update their repository. Guess I'll have
to compile the new version.

Cheers,

David
