[Abcde-users] FW: Abcde and aiff

[Dry Martini Holding Company]

Here are two screenshots of two files viewed through the kid3 program. 
The one titled Blue works properly. The other titled concrete does not 
work (does not show up in the album or artist listing). I see that the 
one that is working is ID3v2.3.0. The other is, ID3v2.4.0. There is lots 
of album information missing on the file that does not work properly.
