It's usually a lot more work to try to solve these things with a library than to just learn a little about the file format and then open up the file in a hex editor.  In this case, these are ID3v2.3 tags using UTF-16.  UTF-16 in ID3v2.3 requires a Byte Order Mark before the beginning of the text data, which these tags don't contain.
