Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/401368
Ubuntu bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/691233

Steps to Recreate:
1) Open an existing mp3 file and select a range
2) Choose File -> Export Selection in Audacity
3) Specify a file name - mp3-without-id3-tags.mp3
4) In the id3 editor dialog add in some tags
5) Save the file

The file property of nautilus shows the tags (except the year), but most
tools (for example id3 and eye3D) fails to detect the tags.

$ id3 -l example.mp3
No ID3 tag.
$ eye3D example.mp3
Invalid frame id for DateFrame: TYER
No ID3 v1.x/v2.x tag found!

The linked Debian bug has more investigation.

I can confirm this. Using the same MP3 song, I end up with no ID3
headers showing up in Dolphin after exporting, even though Dolphin
registered the ID3 information for the original song.

To make it more interesting, this is a Linux specific bug, as I tried it
using 1.3.12 on my Windows 7 install (same file), and the ID3 headers
worked as expected, and still showed up when I opened a Windows-edited
file on my Linux box.

Tested on the latest SVN.

Oh, and the Linux exported file is exactly 112 bytes larger than the
Windows exported file.

You can fix the year tag problem (at any rate for Nautilus and Eye3D) if
someone gives the green light/votes for the patch in Bug 265, so that
TDRC is used for Linux. Have you tried that patch?

As one of the bug comments states, the tags are there (try looking in a
Hex Editor) but some apps do not see them.

Are all these reports for exporting MP3 with the distro's LAME:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Lame_Installation#GNU.2FLinux.2FUnix_instructions
?

What program does "id3" at the command line call - have you looked at
the source of that program? Does it require ID3v2.4? Audacity uses ID3
v2.3. It might well be that most of these problems could be solved by
forcing ID3v2.4 for Linux but would people who still insist on using
e.g. Ubuntu 6.x approve? If the default file manager for the current OS
version sees the tags, then I think apps that don't probably make this a
P4.

Title:
  mp3 export fails to save id3 tags

Status in Audacity:
  Confirmed
Status in audacity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in audacity package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: audacity

  This might be related to bug 581113.

  Steps to Recreate:
  1) Open an existing mp3 file and select a range
  2) Choose File -> Export Selection in Audacity
  3) Specify a file name - mp3-without-id3-tags.mp3
  4) In the id3 editor dialog add in some tags
  5) Save the file

  Check to see if id3tags are there using id3tag mp3-without-
  id3-tags.mp3.

  Notice the file wasn't really tagged and that you wasted some time.
