I store my MP3s on my NAS. I mount a CIFS share on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian and manage my music using Beets. However, I also access my MP3s through my Windows desktop using Windows Media Player.
Beets tags files in ID3v2.4, which WMP (along with Windows 7 File Explorer) can't read. So I thought I would script it up to convert the tags to v2.3 using eyeD3.
After running eyeD3 --to-v2.3 *.mp3, the files no longer play at all in WMP. However, if I convert them back to v2.4 with eyeD3 they play fine again (although the ID3 info still can't be read).
If I convert the tags using Foobar2000 on Windows, everything works correctly.
What might be causing this incompatibility with eyeD3? I would much rather script the conversion (or write a Beets plugin to do so) rather than having to convert them in Windows with Foobar.
