I converted, using some audio software called Switch, 4700+ tracks from various bitrates (MP3 320, 192 CBR/VBR and FLAC) to Mp3/128CBR. However not many of the tags came across on conversion. This could be a problem with Switch. They sem to be looking into it. But in the meantime I have over 4000 Mp3/128CBR tracks with no tags. Have to srick with Switch as it is the only software that will go through my file structure, C:\User\Album\track, and convert into the same file structure; everything else just gives me 4000+ files in one folder!

I do not need very many tags anyway. Just Title, Artist, Album, Track No and Genre.

I have brought the source directory into Mp3tag and found that the following tags are found in the tracks:-

ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3)  
ID3v2.2 (ID3v2.2)   
ID3v2.2 (ID3v1 ID3v2.2)  
FLAC (FLAC)  
(ID3v1) one only

Only those marked ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3) have come across into the Mp3/128CBR folders. The majority, ID3v2.2 (ID3v2.2), FLAC (FLAC) and the few ID3v2.2 (ID3v1 ID3v2.2) did not.

Can Mp3tag convert all the ID3v2.2 (ID3v2.2), FLAC (FLAC) and the ID3v2.2 (ID3v1 ID3v2.2) to ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3) tags?

Any advice appreciated
