iTunes and id3 tags
It seems that iTunes is not happy when you try to import an mp3 with both id3v1 and id3v2 tags. The solution that worked for me is to strip the id3v2 tag and leave the id3v1 tag. Note that this will annoy you if the tracks have long names, as one of the limitations of id3v1 is a 30 character max for the various fields.
Stripping the id3v2 tag is pretty easy, assuming a basic knowledge of perl. If you are lazy and want my script, let me know.
