That's what I thought too, but...I was shocked recently to discover that the 
default ID3 version when ripping MP3's in the latest version of iTunes is 
v2.2!  Doh!

I was running a scan of a friend's music library as a test of my .NET ID3 
tag library when hundreds or errors were reported.  I've run several of 
these kinds of large library scans and very rarely would I see *any* v2.2 
tags so I just never got around to implementing it in my lib.  It turns out 
he did all of his ripping using iTunes so almost his entire library was 
v2.2.

So if iTunes, arguably one of the most popular audio players out there now, 
is going backwards and using v2.2, more consideration might have to be given 
to this "outdated" version.
