To be exact, ID3v1 tags are at the end of the file, while ID3v2 tags
are at the beginning, before the actual audio data.
In addition, I think ID3v1 are exactly 128 bytes, i.e. the last 128
bytes in an MP3 file.
So for ID3v2 it's no problem to just read the tags, for ID3v1 it should
probably also be possible.
Again I think using the official library is the best way to go, since
it might hide all these troubles from you anyway...
But this is going way off topic now...
