It can read all version 1 and version 2 tags, it has no problem with any of 
the 3000 mp3 files in my collection nor the dozens of  samples I collected to 
test it when it was written. I'm going to have to suggest that your tags are 
in some way broken. However if you feel this isn't the case then you should 
raise the issue with the author of Taglib.
