I ripped a CD and created MP3 files and FLAC files. I used this wonderful mp3tag program to update the tags in both sets of files.

When I hover over the MP3 files and the info window comes up, it shows the tags, such as this:

Artist: Eagles  
Title: In the City  
Album: The Long Run  
Track: 03  
...and so on.

But when I hover over the FLAC files, it shows this:  
ARTIST: Eagles  
Title: In the City  
ALBUM: The Long Run  
TRACK: 03  
...and so on.

So, most of the label names in the FLAC files are capitalized. I can't figure out why. This is a little thing, but it's driving me crazy lol.

Anybody have any ideas?

> Greetings, all, I am new here, and am glad I have found place where I hope I can get some help. I have been using mp3 tag a while now to edit and tag my flac files. I have two questions about this; Q#1: I noticed and this has always kind of bugged me, but have not known how to deal with it. Whenever I edit a tag for a song such as a the title of a track on a flac album, I find that the field-names seem to be converted to all caps. So if I had edited the title of a song from a flac album, th…
