What software would I need to check that?

Chronon:
MP3Tag should be able to tell you the format of the metadata, if I recall correctly.

Lear:
I'm pretty sure Rockbox won't even play Ogg Vorbis files with ID3 tags... E.g., see this thread.

They sure look like it:

dip:
I had sometime the problem that the end of tag were truncated in the database browser (e.g. for some songs the GENRE "classical" was only shown as "cla"). The reason was that for these songs other tags contained very long entries so that a Rockbox internal buffer was full and other tags were truncated when browsing the database. Maybe for the same reason some tags can be completely missing if the remaining tags of these songs are too long.

Could that be the reason in your case?

I could solve the problem by increasing the the default value of ID3V2_BUF_SIZE from 300 to 900 in apps/metadata.h and compiled my own version. But I always hope that the default value of this variable will be made device dependent in a future version of Rockbox since e.g. my iPod Video has enough memory to set the value to 900 without any negative side effects while other devices with less memory may need a small value.
