MP3 ID3 Tag Protocal Definition

Note: I do not 'own' nor want to own this tag format, its something I created
for myself that other people attached to. In this regard, this information is
for free of use for other playlist makers who want real info with their songs
and a standard specification. In other words you do not have to ask me permission
to use this information. I beleive in freedom of information, in this way it promotes
growth of other quality playlist makers and continues to 'up' the anty for what a
playlist maker should have with every release from other great playlist makers.
(Just remember ID3 was the first! =), even though it did suck! )
