mp3 track tag tool/editor

I have an mp3 cd player in my car, which can read track tags, but they need to be tag version ID3 1.x. Now I have all my songs in iTunes, however they are not tag version ID3 1.x.

Now, I am aware that I can "convert ID3 tags" in iTunes, however that means that my track tags in itunes also become version 1.x, and so I lose some of the information (due to the shorter field lengths in version 1.x compared to whatever version itunes is using).

So, I would like a method of copying the tags from whichever version they are (I think generally id3 2.x) into the id3 1.x.

Is there a program which can do this for me?
Can it be done in automator? (Not that I know how to use that!)

Thanks in advance,

Robert

 

Sorry if I was unclear. I want to change the tag version on the mp3s which I write to CD for my car.
