EAC/LAME3.97b2... id3v1 AND APEv2 tags?

I once found a feature of foobar2000 that I really liked, and that was the ability to store metadata regarding MP3s in both APEv2 tags (for full metadata functionality) and also in id3v1 tags (for compatibility).

I've used EAC+LAME for a looooong time now, but it's been awhile since I have been to HA, so I was still using 3.90.3 with --alt-preset standard and both id3v1 and id3v2 tags.

In the List of Recommended LAME Settings, I see command lines for various tagging methods: id3v1, id3v2, id3v1 & 2, and APEv2. I'm very interested in creating files with only id3v1 tags, but also with APEv2 tags from the get-go with EAC+LAME, but I do not see anything that shows both id3v1 and APEv2. I searched the forums and didn't find anything relevant.

I was wondering if this command line would work for what I'm trying to do:

%d -t "Artist=%a" -t "Title=%t" -t "Album=%g" -t "Year=%y" -t "Track=%n" -t "Genre=%m" LAME.exe -V 2 --vbr-new --id3v1-only --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

If not, please let me know how I can do what I'm trying to accomplish, if it is even possible. Thanks!

Well, I tried out my command line above. It turns out that it does not add id3 tags. I haven't checked to see if APEv2 tags have been added yet.

The above commandline adds the APEv2 tag behind the ID3v1 tag ([MP3] - [ID3v1] - [APEv2]) rendering the ID3v1 tag unreadable for the majority of ID3v1 implementations.

You could try using a utility like wack to add ID3v1 tags using tag.exe after encoding or just add the ID3v1 tags by using foobar2000's "Update tags from Database" command later.
"To understand me, you'll have to swallow a world." Or maybe your words.

Ah, so it's not possible in one go. That kind of stinks, but I guess I'll just keep doing what I used to do (use foobar2000 to do the tags like I want).

Thanks!
