fuze+ and vorbis tags

I have many OGG files that have been tagged with musicbrainz (id3v2 2.3). They contain 

“musicbrainz_albumartistid” and “musicbrainz_artistid” tags in addition to the usual “album” and “artist” tags.

Apparently, the latest firmware of the fuze+ considers these tags for the title of the album and the name of the artist instead of the normal ones, which is very annoying. Is it already a known bug (apparently some guys had already similar problems with FLAC files) and is there a way to solve it (that avoid to remove all these musicbrainz tags from my files) ?

I use Musicbrainz Picard (ID3v2 2.3) to tag MP3s and I don’t have this problem.

Odd. I’m pretty sure Ogg files are incompatible with id3 technology, and that they use Vorbis Comment, instead. Could that have anything to do with your issue? Or did you just make a mistake when you posted.

I use the legendary MP3Tag software, and it has no problems. Perhaps you could save your tags with that?

Thanks for your replies.

This is not surprising. I’m using Picard as well to tag all my files. With the MP3, this is no problem for the fuze+ but for the OGG files the fuze+ misinterprets some musicbrainztags as “musicbrainz_albumartistid” or “musicbrainz_artistid”. If I remove these fields in the OGG tags, then the fuze+ recognizes the tags properly.

I think, this is a bug in the firmware, as I never encountered such bug with any software on Linux.

You might want to check out what the Vorbis tag mappings actually are in the Picard software.

You may be able to correct the issue with a simple script in Picard.
