Amarok now doesn't edit tags properly

Ubuntu Users,

I realize this isn't strictly an Ubuntu issue, but hopefully someone can 
point me in the right direction.

After upgrading to Edgy, and Amarok 1.4 with it, editing tags has become 
a problem. That is, before I upgraded, I would edit MP3 file tags and it 
worked fine.

I noticed something was wrong when I edited the tags for about 10 music 
files, and then loaded them onto my portable MP3 player. The player did 
not recognize such tags as "Title" and "Artist", and instead shows the 
file name.

I double checked that I had, in fact, changed the tag information by 
once again loading the files into Amarok. They show tag information, 
like "Title" and "Artist" as I had edited them.

However, I then loaded the files in XMMS, and it does not recognize the 
tag information, and, just like my portable MP3 player, defaults to 
using the filename to display the name of the song.

So... is Amarok storing its tag information in some non-standard way? Is 
this a bug? Why would it work in the previous version of Amarok and not now?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
