Get APIC images in ID3v2.4 UTF-8 tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Tag an mp3 file with ID3v2.4 UTF-8 (mp3tag)
2. Add a cover to this file
3. $id3 = new ID3v2($file)
4. var_dump($id3->apic)

Issues :
- The mime type is in description attribute
- Encoding is set to 0 (ISO-8859-1), not UTF-8 ??
- $id3->apic->data does not return anything

The other utf-8 frames values (with special chars) are all good.

I am using the last 1.4 version of php-reader on a Zend Framework (1.5)
personal project on a Windows XP 32 bits machine.

The same file encoded with ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1 works fine.

Any idea ?

Thanks

This is due to lack of unsynchronization support, see issue 8. 
Unsynchronization adds
extra bytes to the data in order to prevent syncronization sequences. With these
intact (as they are currently not dealt with), the parser gets odd results. I am
working on the solution. In the meanwhile, you might want to try to tag with 
iTunes,
instead.

I have now added support for unsynchronisation for ID3v2.4. Please see the 
subversion
for the latest code.
