This may be a duplicate of 534892 - fails to read
CDCOPY tags.

One of the jreceiver users reported that id3v2 tags
from
iTunes aren't being read, quite possibly for the
same
reasons as those for CDCOPY. I confirmed that
they're
not being read and are coming up blank. A pic of a
header hex dump is attached.

    Hi,
    It looks like the tag is a ID3v2.2. So it's "normal" since
    ID3v2.2 tags are not officially supported by jd3lib, are
    they ? There definitely is an ID3v2p2Frames class but
    the code does not do anything with it. Moreover, I think
    that the source code of this class is more or less the
    same than ID3v2Frames.
    I had the same problem with a user of my archiving
    program that uses ITunes... I made him change for
    another tagger :)

    So two things :
    * ID3v2 sucks.
    * ITunes is obsolete since it uses a deprecated version
    of ID3v2.

    ID3v2.2 will be added as all other ID3v2 Versions will be
    added in the future. We will create a xml doctype that'll
    make it possible to easily extend the library by simply
    adding a new xml file.

    This is still the case with tags generated by iTunes 3, which uses id3v2.4 tags.
