Hi,

I just had to change the album names of 200 files from different 
sources. If you edit tags of so many mp3s, there are always some files 
with problems. I used your newest version of id3v2 and it worked very 
well. Even where the tag could not be read or changed by the tool (maybe 
it was ape tags or something) and other tools didn't succeed, using 
id3v2 to remove the tag and then write a new one worked. I'll let you 
know if I encounter a problem with the tool in the future.

Best regards,
Tobias
