EAC + LAME: unwanted tags

Hello,

I'm using EAC v1.5 to rip my CDs to FLAC + MP3.

Everything is fine, except that LAME encoder adds those unneeded tags:



Here are my encoder options:
Quote
"-V0 --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta \"%artist%\" --tt \"%title%\" --tg \"%genre%\" --tl \"%albumtitle%\" --ty \"%year%\" --tn \"%tracknr%/%numtracks%\" %source%"

LAME 3.100 x64, MD5: 2AC60218D0B6A3D8B4248E688A552BEB

Not a big issue, but I'd like to understand why those tags are added.

Thanks in advance.

lame.exe (not EAC) is adding TSSE and TLEN to the beginning of the file when ID3v2 tagging is enabled

The above is from a file created using lame.exe via cmd.exe (command prompt).
The tags go away using the -id3v1-only option (all ID3v2 options removed).

Thanks for the analysis, korth.
Indeed, LameDropXPd adds the same tags. Fields are a bit short with ID3v1, so I'll remove TSSE and TLEN tags with Kid3, not a big deal ;)
