Uggh, id3v1 was an evil kludge, id3v2 was NOT a fix.  It is simply 
a larger, uglier, messier kludge to compensate for kludgev1 limits.

id3 is EVIL. Do not look to any of its versions as a solution, rather, 
recognise it for its only redeeming feature - it was an inspiration to 
create the sensible, extensible tagging system in OGG.
