I'm not expert on id3 libraries but it looks like libid3-3.8.3c2a is pretty much unmaintained (unacknowledged patches for 7+ years) whilst http://packages.debian.org/sid/libid3tag0 claims " full support for reading ID3v1, ID3v1.1, ID3v2.2, ID3v2.3, and ID3v2.4 tags, as well as support for writing ID3v1, ID3v1.1, and ID3v2.4 tags."
A solution might be moving to the other library. Is upstream dead? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
