I sent this link to myself on another machine and it seems to work. Let me know if you still have a problem and I will try something different.

OK, got it.
I can see the problem, but I'm unsure what is causing it or how to fix it. I'll need to investigate further.

Re: Metadata Error: Unknown text information frame
It appears to be a bug in Audacity 2.2.2.
The good news is that it does not occur in the development code (Audacity 2.3.0 alpha).
Until Audacity 2.3.0 is available, I'd suggest that you use some other application for editing the metadata of MP3 files. There are several suitable applications available in the Ubuntu repository. "EasyTag" is pretty good, and it can fix these bad tags automatically.

Re: Metadata Error: Unknown text information frame
Like I mentioned early on, I have my Windows version which I can use until then.
Any idea as to when it will be released, or about when it supposed to be released?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Metadata Error: Unknown text information frame
It's scheduled for release in a couple of months time, but it'll be a while after that before it is in Ubuntu's repository.
Panda Jim's "Ubuntu Handbook" repository usually has builds available soon after release (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/ ... u/audacity)

Re: Metadata Error: Unknown text information frame
Ah, but since this user also has a Windows machine they will be able to update that platform to 2.3.0 as soon as it is released.
Current target release date for 2.3.0 is 31st August

Re: Metadata Error: Unknown text information frame
Thanks again for all the update info.
Just to briefly fill you in, I did not originally see Steve's post about EasyTag, and I loaded it and sent a test file to the radio station and he said that it worked great. So even if I have to temporarily implement one more step, I appreciate all of the help and also knowing it will soon be fixed for anyone else who may have run into this as well.
