Ok, now bad ID3's are common and I thought I had enough safety nets to
catch all of them. Can you see what was failing about these tags? I am
9/10th of the way through a new ID3 decoder library and would love to
find more bad tags to run through the parser. While I can not accept
mp3's (do to copyright issues) if you can isolate out just the headers I
would love to have a copy of them to add to my tests.
