Finally I was able to do some quiet trials and I can confirm what was said by Jacko. To solve the problem of incompatibility with Mp3Tag it is sufficient to make a passage through the save with another tagger that does not have the problem. I discovered, for example, that TagScanner reads the tags written by Picard and it is sufficient to save them (CTRL+A to select all the files, CTRL+S to save them) and the tags are correct and readable also by Mp3Tag. A bit tortuous but in the end you are sure to have correct tags and no "(!BAD ID3V2)" errors.

Wait Jacko, I'm investigating a bit deeper...

Hi jacko, I reinstalled Picard (maybe my installation was broken for some reason) and I confirm what you found in your last test. Then I used TagScanner to investigate and I think I've found the reasons of the problem. There are two problems: 1. Tag "COMMENT WORKPARTS_OPTIONS" not valid There's a "COMMENT WORKPARTS_OPTIONS" tag (containing a lot of text) on every Picard saved DSF file. I don't know this particular tag but this is the origin of the "(!BAD ID3v2)" error; if you remove this tag all the others come to life in MP3Tag. 2. Many specific Musicbrainz tags have a wrong name. I noted that, even if the above error is resolved, many specific Musicbrainz tags don't appear in MP3Tag where I normally expect to see them. Examples: Ther's a tag "MUSIC BRAINZ ALBUM TYPE" with an "album" string wrote by the plugin. But I expect to have a "RELEASETYPE" tag, cause normally (with FLAC files) Picard write a "RELEASETYPE" tag, not the "MUSIC BRAINZ ALBUM TYPE". The same appears with the tag "MUSICBRAINZ ALBUM ID", the right name is "MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID". Again, there's no "PUBLISHER" tag but "LABEL" is the right one. And so on... You can consult https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/tags for more infos. 3. (Not a problem, just a correction) There's a "002_WARNINGS" tag that, in my opinion, it's a wrong tag and it has anytime the value "No works for this track". I think it's a tag to don't write. So... ehm... maybe you could... :-) I'm not a Python expert but maybe you, with a bunch of minutes,... :-)

Yep, I tried but it doesn't work. I looked up in browser and tagged the right release. Picard shown at right the release with all empty tracks. I dragged each file at the right position and I saved all (right mouse button on the release and "Save"). MP3Tag doesn't see any tag, all files are tag-empty. :-( EJ

Yes, I saw that plug-in. Unfortunately it does not collect the information from MusicBrainz (specific ID, ASIN, etc.). It looks like the plug-in only identifies the album and titles using the file name but it can save any ID3v tag. EJ

Hi, a lot of time has passed so I'm wondering if that plugin still extists and works. I tried the link above but... it doesn't exist anymore. Someone has some news about it? Thank a lot

I was looking for exactly what you are looking for. I found Daphile and not give it up more! You do not need a "serious" PC to host it or control it. You can install Daphile inside a Fijitsu Futro s450 or S550 (inexpensive, fanless, plus an 8GB CF) and use it as streamer to the USB DAC input. Then you control Daphile with smartphone / tablet / etc ... (I suggest Orange Squeeze). I know the SBT was perfect for such a use but... now Daphile supports 24/192 PCM, native DSD, FIR, convolution, ... Too much to renounce.
