Are you using any kind of prefabricated Python module for this? Maybe their implementation of MP3 tagging is enlightening to you. Remember that ID3 in MP3 was a dirty hack at the beginning, so it is likely that may files are nonconformant or that many different programs simply follow their gut, as there was no specification.
