All, I came across a nice tag editor, EasyTAG http://easytag.sourceforge.net/ that does bulk re-encoding of the tags. It worked on almost all my files. If I removed the id3v1 tags from the file, EasyTAG was works on everything. Azat on the EasyTAG list pointed me to another package to do everything: find -iname '*.mp3' -print0 | xargs -0 `which mid3iconv` -eShift_JIS --remove-v1 On Fedora, the mid3iconv is in the RPM python-mutagen-1.12-1.fc7 I just used it to remove the id3v1 tags and EasyTAG did the re-encoding. I haven't tried the encoding change implied by the -eShift_JIS option on the command line above. Thanks everyone for your help.
