Looks great, but 1 concern...

The comment on the OS X / Audiotron page:

"One other note of (some) importance. iTunes does not properly store v2.3 Comment tags. It stores them as a tag value of 'COM ' rather than 'COMM'. This causes some software to break, including the Perl MP3 Tag library, MP3::Tags. Other software may also fail because of this. The Audiotron seems not to care."

Robg, Does this affect iPod useage? Have you seen any problems from this?

No idea...

If someone wants to loan me an iPod, I'd be glad to test it out :-). I converted all the tags and iTunes itself seems fine - I still have artists and genres and all that. But I don't have an iPod to test it with. My portable MP3 player (a basic Rio unit) still gets the song and title info just fine when uploading new stuff to it.
