Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libid3-3.8.3

There are many problems with applications which use id3lib, because it wasn't 
updated in 5 years and can only write ID3 2.3 tags.
Most ubuntu-supported applications such as Sound-Juicer or AmaroK read and 
write ID3 2.4 only which leads to confusing behaviour.
The best would be to convince application authors to switch to TagLib which is 
much better maintained at the moment.
