Hello,
so I think I know the issue know. It seems that your player only supports ID3
v2.3 and not the newest v2.4.
With EasyTag there is a setting where you can define if it should write v2.3 or
v2.4 tags.
If I set it to 2.4 the command line tool "id3v2" couldn't read it. If I set it
to v2.3 "id3v2" could read it well.
The problem now is that I use mutagen to write the tag. The reason for this
decision was that mutagen
supports writing tags to MP3, OGG, FLAC, M4A,... file formats. But mutagen
don't support the v2.3 tag format.
So there are more possibilities now I think
* someone could write a new hook scripts which uses special command line
tools or other python tools to write the tags. the "problem" here is
that the script is a bit more complex because the script had to decide which
tool it starts to tag the audio file (maybe I could look into this if
I find the time)
* you could check if you really use the latest firmware on your media player
* normally there would be the option to use rockbox on your device, but the
version for the Fuze+ is still in alpha state (http://www.rockbox.org/)
