APE tags seems to be a bit more versatile than ID3, I guess that's why
some apps prefer them. I see more and more of these files.

Like I said before, you should be able to edit them using Ex Falso, I
believe it has plugins to convert between APE and ID3.

There's a suggested patch and discussions about how to best handle this
in the upstream bug, see,
