[Ion Todirel]

Windows Media Player, has a SDK for developers, if Player can read tag, then SDK provide this functionality. If iTunes has SDK use it. Way iTunes does'nt support ID3v2?

I understand how the spec is supposed to work and have tested the
behavior with a ton of tag writing things. The behavior is mixed.
iTunes is not the only broken implementation, but there are some that
gets it right.

don't support iTunes, because Apple can't RTFM" is not the best
option.

So. Better than blindly crashing all of the time. At least this way
it will work most of the time. And when it breaks I will add more
heuristics.
