Comment 6 for bug 64905

I'm also getting this issue. Gstreamer apps like Totem, Listen and RhythmBox see the tags fine, but other apps like EasyTag, Audio Tag Tool, Windows Media Player 10 and the id3 & id3v2 command line apps can't read the tags.

Winamp can read the tags and I used that to copy the tags from id3v2 to id3v1 and now all apps can read these tags.

According to the watched bug on the gnome bugzilla it seems to be a case where the tags are written with id3 2.4 and these other apps can't read those tags. If this is the case is there some way to write tags in an older version of id3?
