Fails to read some mp3 tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I've got some old mp3s where mutagen (svn trunk rev 108) fails to read any tags.
Other applications, like id3info and mp3info, manage to read them, for example:

bash>mutagen-inspect ./01\ -\ Long\ Shot.mp3 
-- ./01 - Long Shot.mp3
- MPEG 1 layer 3, 96000 bps, 44100 Hz, 195.54 seconds (audio/mp3)
GEOB=[unrepresentable data]

bash> id3info ./01\ -\ Long\ Shot.mp3 

*** Tag information for ./01 - Long Shot.mp3
=== GEOB (General encapsulated object): (RealJukebox:Metadata)[]: binary, 1394 
bytes
=== TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Long Shot
=== TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Aimee Mann
=== TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): I'm With Stupid
=== TYER (Year): 2001
=== TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1
=== TCON (Content type): (17)
*** mp3 info
MPEG1/layer III
Bitrate: 96KBps
Frequency: 44KHz

bash> mp3info ./01\ -\ Long\ Shot.mp3 
File: ./01 - Long Shot.mp3
Title:   Long Shot                      Track: 1
Artist:  Aimee Mann
Album:   I'm With Stupid                Year:  2001

It's possible the files are not standards conforming somehow,
I'm afraid I don't know much/anything about this. The `file' command
reports:

01 - Long Shot.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3.0, contains: MPEG ADTS, 
layer III, v1,  96 kbps, 44.1 kHz, JntStereo

I attach the first 32kb of one file as suggested.

Thanks.

Can you send me the file per mail?

The example contains a valid (although truncated) id3v2.3 tag which 
mutagen-inspect shows above.

My guess is that it contains a id3v1.1 tag at the end, which mutagen does not 
read, only write/update.

Joe: What do you think about adding upgraded id3v1.1 frames if they are not in 
v2.2/3/4?

They are not version v1.1 but v2.3
