Yet the MP3 files that I rip and encode using Banshee only have ID3v1

update file tags _after_ ripping:
~/Music/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album $ id3v2 -l 01.\ Track\ 1.mp3
id3v2 has been unreliable for me, just look at the first few bytes of your MP3 file,
should be "ID3", followed by two bytes of id3v2 version (major, minor).
Also make sure your Banshee is really using gstreamer 1.0 (and not 0.10).
If I understand the code in current Banshee master correctly, bug 658372 is still valid.
But that should only apply to ripping. Editing the metadata later on should use taglib sharp.
