Hmm. Sounds like Audacity is using vorbis tags which don't work for MP3. I wonder if there's something you can toggle in settings?
I will try and explain what I do and add some images.
At first, this is what I get after I have split the tracks. The options that are selected are what I use.
Then, In the window labelled "Edit Metadata", I name the Artist, Album and the Year. I label the tracks as I split them so they will already be done. This is just an example.
In the window above, If I change Export format to Ogg vorbis files, then it does see all my info on the X3. This is what you said.
I only tag them as Mp3s as they save room and the are also more compatible with other devices which often don't support oggs, flacs and similar formats. They also take up a little less room than Oggs and hardly sound any worse.
There may still be a way of tagging them right but It seems to be taking me a long time to work out if I have done this with over 1000 tracks and I still haven't figured it out.
