Could you copy one of these tracks to a temporary location and run the following from the command prompt:

Code:

fsutil file seteof <filename> 2048
certutil -encodehex <filename> hex.txt

The first line truncates the file so it can be handled by certutil and the second writes out exactly what's in your tags to a file called hex.txt e.g.

Code:

Could you include the contents of hex.txt in your reply (only the bits containing tags are necessary).

I'm assuming it's something like a carriage return. Did these tags come from HDTracks?

The order should be based on the tracknumber tag.
