So I noticed something a while back but have just now decided to write (type?) it down. Some podcasters (especially those using iTunes to tag their MP3s) are not tagging their files with id3v1 – they are only using v2. Why is that a big deal? Well, here’s one reason…..the AudioScrobbler plugins (at least the Foobar plugin anyway) look at the id3v1 tags so if you don’t have v1, you don’t get indexed at AudioScrobbler. Not a huge deal, but why wouldn’t you do that one extra step to get linked/posted at AudioScrobbler? Here are some podcasts/artsist on AudioScrobbler that are similar to Adam Curry. If your podcast is not tagged with id3v1, you won’t EVER show up on that list or anywhere on AudioScrobbler.

BTW- here is my AudioScrobbler page: http://www.last.fm/user/brianpipa
