Bug Description

The band name U2 won't display on 1.5 and 1.6 versions of mixxx.
At least on 1.6.0 mixxx displays the file name instead of the song title for the song FM by Steely Dan.

Both these bugs have one thing in common the mistreated name are two letter words.

This is definitely a bug, looks like it might be related to the logic block @ line 368 of trackinfoobject.cpp which blanks artist if the length is less then 3 chars long...

soundsourcemp3.cpp ~ line 512 also has some silly if checks that reject ID3v2 values that are shorter then 2 chars for title and artist... I've fixed these in my local copy and will commit the fix tonight.
