It finally happened. Apple has broken something in iTunes 7.1.x that prevents iTunes-Lame from copying over meta-data to the newly created mp3 files. Actually, it has shown up occasionally for the past few versions. Now it is consistently failing.
Blacktree has stopped supporting iTunes-Lame, but has opened the source and there is now an Intel binary version on stimuli.ca.
In response to problems with iTunes-Lame, Atomic Lemur has released iLas. But it does not work for me, doesn't like my genre tags among other things.
Here is hoping someone finds the time to create a working replacement.
