You can fix the year tag problem (at any rate for Nautilus and Eye3D) if someone gives the green light/votes for the patch in Bug 265, so that TDRC is used for Linux. Have you tried that patch?

As one of the bug comments states, the tags are there (try looking in a Hex Editor) but some apps do not see them.

Are all these reports for exporting MP3 with the distro's LAME: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Lame_Installation#GNU.2FLinux.2FUnix_instructions ?

What program does "id3" at the command line call - have you looked at the source of that program? Does it require ID3v2.4? Audacity uses ID3 v2.3. It might well be that most of these problems could be solved by forcing ID3v2.4 for Linux but would people who still insist on using e.g. Ubuntu 6.x approve? If the default file manager for the current OS version sees the tags, then I think apps that don't probably make this a P4.
