FS#5933 - skip ID3 tags in ogg vorbis files

Some broken tools create ogg files with ID3 tags. Whilst such files are according to the standard broken there exist some players (xmmms got mentioned) that simply skip the id3 tags and play the file correctly. Currently Rockbox refuses to play such files (see  FS#5912  for a discussion about that). While this is technically correct it would be a better solution (at least from a users view) to simply skip the wrong ID3 tags and just play the ogg file.

Another possibility would be to have a plugin that would remove all id3 tags from ogg vorbis files.

Closing all feature requests.

I'd vastly prefer if the player told the user "Vorbis files with ID3 tags are invalid/corrupt" and refuse to play, or just refuse to play the file, than ignore the tags. Ignored tags would, in my opinion, cause even more confusion.
