To be pedantic, ID3 V1 has a single byte for genres.
Later versions accept free form text. Just like Flac.

Sadly a lot of ripping programs still write ID3 V1 format
even if they also write a more reasonable later version.
And a lot of reading/player programs will use the ID3 V1
tags if they are present, even with later, better and more
useful tags are there.

ID3 V1 tags are evil.
