To be more accurate, the audio compression used in swa is mp3. However, 
the file formats themselves are not identical, since, as you say, swa 
carries additional information. "Tags" would imply that these are using 
an XML-like format, but they aren't.

All that said, *generally*, you can rename an swa to an mp3, and the 
player will disregard the extra header and file meta-data, as you are 
trying to do, though there is nothing to say that some types of players 
will not be more sensitive to it.

Does make you wonder what changed between Rev versions which would 
cause the issue though.
