Hello, I've an album made of flac tracks which I want to tag. I removed every tag with foobar2000.

Then I applied tag in foobar2000 through foo\_musicbrainz. Result:

Then I removed all tags, and applied them using mp3tag and MusicBrainz. Result:

To much surprise, foobar2000 worked much better than mp3tag with MusicBrainz. mp3tag is missing many MusicBrainz tags.

Question: how do I fix this so that mp3tag receive all tags as foobar2000 does?

Thank you!

Which [Web Source Script](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/3591/1) do you use to get the MusicBrainz tags into your flac files?
