Some of the junk in the tags may be generated by the software that was

breaking meta data readily available on sharing sites. Whole albums
incorrectly labeled, Tracks with the wrong artist, some completely
different song. Tracks with other stuff edited in to the middle. Some
files labeled as mp3 may in fact be Trojans. Treat all mp3's with caution.
I regard mp3's as evil. They shouldn't be played on the radio.
That said, is it possible for an mp3 to contain a trojan and still be
playable?
Given the universe of different platforms people use to play mp3's these
days, how likely is it that any executable code in an mp3 would run on a
Rivendell machine? Presumably, it couldn't run with root privileges, but
on a Rivendell system one can do a lot of damage without being root. And
there's always the possibility of spewing out spam or participating in a
DDOS attack.
