I just converted an APE to MP3. I did not use MC to do it because I wanted a 'new' file. You know, nothing in the library to confuse things.
I open MC and clear Playing Now.
I dropped the MP3 file onto Playing Now and it is recognized and plays just fine.
I have MC replay gain enabled for album mode and set for automatic adjustment.
Highlight the file and choose 'File Type Info.

Ok, looks right to me, all tags are in place, etc.
Now I analyze the file and it completes normally. I shutdown MC then start it again.
Highlight the file and get File Type Info. This is what is listed:

So, either the File Type Info tool does not display correctly or Analyze is not adding Track and Album values.
