We could start a soap opera on this topic, as this seems to appear over and
over again:

1. Rockbox supports both id3v1 and id3v2

2. The id3v2 support is limited to the first 300 bytes of the file. Some
   rippper programs tend to add very big tags first and then the important
   ones Rockbox wants to read end up beyond the first 300 bytes and then
   they remain unknown.

3. If you believe that the tags you don't see *is* within 300 bytes, then
   please make the mp3 file available for one of us developers to try out.

4. The 300-byte limit is subject to be removed in a future version.
