I've tested this quite a bit, and through a lot of trial and error, I've
come to the conclusion that this method only works correctly for ID3v1 or
v1.1 tags, but not for anything >=v2. Does anyone know why this is, or how
to read ID3v2 tags (or have my tests led me astray? I tested it by using
iTunes 'Convert ID3 Tags..." feature, and was able to read ID3v1 tags in my
test RB app using this method, but not ID3v2 tags. Converting to v1 in
iTunes solved the problem for most files).
