OK there is still a problem with this. It seems to break when I write
the TXXX comment to indicate that the track is from a compilation....

e.g:.

id3v2 -l 09\ -\ In\ The\ Zone\ \(Aquasky\).mp3
id3v2 tag info for 09 - In The Zone (Aquasky).mp3:
TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Aquaskyxx
TXXX (User defined text information): (MusicBrainz Album Artist Id):
89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377P4


The trailing P4 garbage on the end (actually id3v2's attempt at decoding 
TPE4 as unicode and getting P4) seems to indicate something is wrong.

I'll look into it and work on a patch immediately.

Col.
