the version of sound juicer in edgy writes the tags in format id3v2.4
easytag doesnt support v2.4 yet only v2.3 + v1, xmms is in the same boat.
try opening it with a modern app such as amarok or rhythmbox. as for grip
you need to set the checkbox for it to rip with a id3vX tag otherwise
it wont include them by default.
