[ID3 Dev] Worst cases of "ID3 offenders"?

[Mitchell S. Honnert]

Thanks for all of the responses.  If anyone else has any more, keep'em
comin'.  Otherwise I'll confirm these and post them to an "ID3 Offenders"
section.

Hmmmm, it seems to work ok on my XP machine. Are you sure the BOM is present

within the text frame?

You are right that Windows XP does not support v2.4.  It does claim to
support v2.3, however, and its implementation of the standard is flawed
due to the fact that it cannot read "16-Bit Unicode 2.0" strings encoded
as big endian.

XP doesn't actually support V2.4.0 and therefore has no need to support
UTF16-BE.

Windows XP does not read UTF16-BE encoded text frames

The MP3ext Windows explorer extension corrupts all of its ID3 v2 tags by

repeatedly writing an advertisement for itself (ie. "MP3ext
V3.3.18(unicode)") in the tag padding, which violates the spec.

Winamp ignores the last frame in a v2.3.0 tag if there is no padding in
the tag.

Mixmeister BPM analyzer (among others it seems) writes floating point
values to the TBPM frame.
