this is sort of a warning for people who use amarok or any other taglib
app to edit their tags.
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139585
summary : in some cases, id3v2 tag can be lost. to the user this is
visible as tag trimming/cutting at 30 symbols and is only noticeable if
the same file is edited again or after a collection rescan (usually a
full rescan would be required).
i've broken quite a bunch of tags in my collection this way (and i don't
know an easy way to find them all besides a direct db query to find all
tags that are exactly 30 characters long...) - hope this helps somebody :)
