Hi again

Yes the ID3v23 tag first frame is invalid, a PRIV frame should contain a 
null terminated string and then binary data, but there is no null 
termionated string so jaudiotagger gives up reading the frames. However 
although the frame data is invalid the PRIV frame does have the correct 
length so it would better if we just skipped this frame and then 
continued to read the other frames which are valid. I think I have a 
solution to this and expect to be submitting a solution later today 
(Issue 250)
