I have some mp3s that are only tagged with ID3v1.
How do keep the ID3v1 tag info and copy it to ID3v2 ? (Other than converting the file)
Thanks.

Don't you just have it set up in the settings to read ID32v1 & ID3v2, also have it set up to write both ID3v1 & ID3v2. On a file with only ID3v1, you select them all in the filelist, then hit the save button. It should then save the information displayed (from the ID3v1 since there isn't a v2) into both the v1 & v2 tags.
