Currently Beets saves the tags in ID3v2.4 format, which to all intents and purposes is the standard. However, Windows (7) and Media Player (12) don't support 2.4, only 2.3. I can't find any mention of being able to alter this behaviour (either media player or beets), and I've submitted a ticket for this with the Beets project.

How much of a ballache would it be to allow users to switch out the default tagger? Until the Beets team adds the functionality (or I have time to look into writing it myself), a two-step approach is needed (Launch something like MP3Tag and re-save the tags).

Thanks.
