The issue here is that there is an id3v2 tag with one element in it 
(RealJukebox's proprietary info stuffed into a GEOB container), with the rest 
of the readable information in a id3v1 tag.  libid3tag, which mythmusic uses, 
sees that a v2 tag exists and ignores the v1 tag.  I should have a workaround 
in CVS later today for this.
