Bug Description
I'm using Sound Juicer 2.14.4 on Ubuntu Dapper and when I rip mp3s the ID3 tags are
corrupt. I have viewed the files in various tag editors. Ex Falso/Quod Libet
shows the correct metadata but with binary characters at the beginning of each
field. EasyTAG doesn't show any metadata at all. Audio Tag Tool is able to show
both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags for a file and it does not show any metadata either.
I have viewed various mp3 files in a hex editor and the metadata is there, at
the beginning of the file (so this means they are ID3v2?) and the fields all
have 1 or 2 characters at the beginning. The first character, if present,
varies but the character just preceding the actual metadata is always '03'.
I have also reported this bug on the Sound Juicer bug system but please backport Sound Juicer 2.16 to Dapper because 2.14 is barely functional.

Do you still get this problem on Edgy?
What happens if you rip the mp3s with another ripper, are the id3 tags ok then?
