           Summary: id3v2mux and id3mux do not pass "compilation" and
                    "albumartist" tags through

test script and (copyright free) test audio files

While using gstreamer with id3v2mux to convert flac files to mp3, I noticed
that some tags presents in the flac where not present in the mp3.

Namely, the "compilation=1" and "albumartist=Various Artists" in the tags
should have been converted into "TCMP=1" and "TPE2=Various Artists" in the mp3
file, but are not.

This is patent when you use iTunes, because it screws up cover flow.

Additional tests showed that
1) id3v2mux successfully passed the tags if both input and output files where
mp3
2) id3mux failed with both input files.

In short the test matrix is:

  flac --id3v2mux--> mp3 KO
  flac --id3mux----> mp3 KO
  mp3  --id3v2mux--> mp3 OK
  mp3  --id3mux----> mp3 KO

I use id3v2mux 0.10.21 and id3mux 0.10.18 on an ubuntu lucid computer.

I'll attach the conversion script and the audio files. I created the audio
files for the occasion and tagged them with picard.
