[PLUG] easytag, audacity & xmms

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

Let me start by plugging an excellent (depends on your taste, I suppose) 
music blog at http://www.lacunae.com/.  The blog includes MP3s of bands 
originating from Oregon & Washington in the '90s.  Music writer Douglas 
Wolk, who maintains the blog, rips the MP3s from varied source material 
-- CD, tape, vinyl -- using audacity.

His MP3s behave strangely on xmms' playlist.  Most have no ID3 tag at 
all, and those that display tag info in the playlist window display 
blank fields in xmms' playlist window.  They play fine.

I have been using EasyTAG (http://easytag.sourceforge.net/) to edit ID3 
tags and to create a standard file naming system for my archives.  
Doug's MP3s crash EasyTAG.

I've written to the EasyTAG developers, but wonder if anyone has 
encounters similar weirdness, and know anything about the problem and 
the cause.
