I too am facing this problem. I thought APE writes ID3 tags, but actually, it writes APETAG tags, and yes they are stored at the end of the file, and yes Rhythmbox prefers them over ID3 2.3 for display, but updates/writes ID3 instead.
Unfortunately, my file is also copyrighted (perhaps it wouldn't be that much of a prpblem though?). andmy attempts to generate a similarly broken non-copyrighted file failed. However, here's some info about it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/data/Download$ file "08 Lupe Fiasco Ft Matthew Santos-Superstar.mp3" 08 Lupe Fiasco Ft Matthew Santos-Superstar.mp3: Audio file with ID3
