There is a program called LDB Manager (LDB means lyrics database) that stores lyrics in USLT tags. It uses somewhat non-standart format (not just text, but also timestamps, and a header), and Mp3tag can't really parse that.
But the _real_ problem is that after I hit "Save" in Mp3tag, most of that USLT tag is destroyed - only 32 bytes saved, the lyrics gone.
Is it possible to keep that tag saved "as is", without changes?

I can't open the images.
Mp3tag interpretes the USLT frame in a standard way and it seem that proprietary format of the other program is not written in a compatible way.
It's not possible to prevent Mp3tag from rewriting the tags when saving. This is by design.
Best regards,
Florian

It's not just software, that format has a lot of hardware support.
For example, look how many iRiver players support it:

All Cowon players support it. Also Samsung and many others.
Please, reconsider...
P.S. one more try: [image before](http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8506/uslt1beforexm1.png), [image after](http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/2116/uslt2afterou4.png)
