It's looking like taglib is the way to go, as it is used by many more 
applications than amarok, including JuK and even some of the KFileMetaInfo 
plugins.  I hear MusicBrainz may be adding support for it as well.

Taglib is also actively maintained, so if for some reason it doesn't read a 
tag from a file, please file a bug on bugs.kde.org, and you can also use the 
taglib-devel mailing list for taglib discussion.
