Foobar Making Bad id3v2 Headers Causing Crash

I used to use Foobar 8.3 and then I upgraded to the new version when I formated and reinstalled. I always rip with FLAC and transcode to MP3 with LAME. Now when I transcode, the files that foobar is making causes PCDJ to crash whenever it tries to write in a tag.

I contacted PCDJ and they told me that it was the ID3 header that was causing PCDJ to crash:

I did what they said (remove the headers using that software) and it worked (PCDJ does not crash) but I lost the ID3 tags!!!

Why is foobar doing this to me!??? I would go back to the old foobar but I can't get that to work now either. I need them transcoded at CBR 320...

foobar2000 0.9 writes perfectly valid ID3v2.4 tags to the converted files (see id3.org for details on this version of ID3v2).

While you wait for the PCDJ guys to add support for ID3v2.4 (or at least fix the bug in their ID3v2.3 handing routines that causes the crash), you can try to use foobar2000 0.9.4 beta with the ID3v2 compatibility mode enabled (see advanced preferences).
