ID3V1 tags are the last 128 bytes of text of an MP3 file so that should be fairly easy to check. The first 3 bytes of the tag are TAG followed by the rest of the information. You can find out more here .

If you're having problems with ID3V2, that's a tougher issue since you're dealing with 4096 bytes of data ( I believe ).

Since you say that the tags appear normal in stand alone applications, you might check an Apple message board to see if anyone else has this problem.

Revolution. Today, 3 O'Clock. Meet behind the monkey bars.

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code
