http://www.id3.org/

The tags are "synchsafe" encoded (0xffffff is escaped) and stored at the
beginning of the file, the better to be streamed. I believe they may optionally
store a footer at the end as well, but I don't think this is widespread.

It's probably not as complex to implement as you may think. The spec is large but
I think you can get away with implementing a significantly reduced subset of the
available tags.
