Which is exactly the function (at least at 0.9.5.6) which does not do what its name implies. You and I both made the same inference. It only rewrites tags which get modified.
I banged my head over this for weeks, and eventually submitted a bug report against QTScrobbler, accusing it of failing to parse my UTF tags properly (for I knew damn well foobar had been instructed to unify all my tags to a unified UTF scheme) only to be embarrassed when it was demonstrated to me that every preexisting tag was exactly as it was before.
I talked to the foobar people in freenode, and was told that the behavior as I describe was intentional, it was not a bug.
That function means, even if you have X tags, foobar will write in your selected format when it writes changes. With that option off it writes new/modified tags of the needed type to match the existing.
audioffile:
Thanks soap, that's very interesting. I was using foobar exactly as you describe, with the option to force all tag writes to ID3v2. I have not reformatted yet (as suggested above), but I intend to do that anyway due to another issue.
I'll rewrite the tags first just to make sure I'm working on one issue at a time. What are you now using to rewrite your tags?
soap:
I don't recall what program I used to fix that problem.
IIRC I used EasyTag on Linux.
I currently use foobar to write all my new tags, the issue was unifying all my old rips on ID3v2.4 UTF-8, sorry I don't recall 100%.
saratoga:
With current versions of foobar you can high light files, right click, and choose "tagging -> tag types" and uncheck APEv2 while checking ID3v2.

For what's worth, with Mp3tag you can "export" the apev2 tags (or any other type really) and then "import" them back to ID3v2 etc.
