That's normal - the ID3 format allows you to do that.

It should still display in application as the correct thing - "Rock"
in this case.

Unfortunately, iTunes implements this incorrectly (I reported the bug
to apple some months ago, but haven't heard back). I'm attaching a
patch I wrote to work around this.

I can't remember if this patch went to upstream taglib bugzilla or not
- I can't find it there, so I guess not, oops.
