This file that Bjorn says has an inconsistent genre tag is produced on
Win2k using EAC + LAME (recent stable versions of both). My ID3 option
in EAC is for 2.3. Does anyone else here use that combination? Winamp
reads these genres correctly, so I guess it's being flexible in what
tags it reads - anyone else using this setup have trouble seeing %ig (in
a custom WPS) in rockbox?

If anyone can help try it, that would be cool.
