Genre Tags Dissapear!

This is VERY annoying.

I just spent about 4 hours setting my 1408 songs each with the correct genre tag that I want. All the tags on my computer were correct. I cleaned my Pod, did a full sync, and all the tags are gone, apart from the "Electronica & Dance" ones i made.

This is very strange. Since things like "Rock" and "Dance" have gone, im assuming EphPod has lost all the v1 tags and kept the v2 tags?

Can someone please tell me how im going to get it working? I could untick "Attempt to read v2 tags" but that would mean half my artist/song names are cut off because of the rubbishness of v1!

Can anyone help please?

I may download the Xplay trial or something, just to get the #### thing to work!

Thanks

I have had a variation of this problem as well - the genre tags stay, but when I reload my files (erase a file that I have tagged and reload it) the tag is missing. Extremely annoying.

I discovered the problem: Because I had the option to read ID3v2 tags, it wouldnt read the standard Genres from v1 (eg Rock etc) so all i did was change all the Rock to "Rock Stuff", dance to "Dance Stuff" and so on, so that all the Genres were v2 instead

Messy, but it worked. :D
