id3 tags are being trucated [#135127]

I have a problem when created audio nodes with the last few characters of the id3 tags being truncated when I upload a file. I first noticed it on Genera, but now it is also showing up on Year and sometimes artist.

I turned on the "show errors" option for id3 and it displays the following:

While reading the ID3 tags, the following warnings were encountered:

    * Some ID3v1 fields do not use NULL characters for padding

I don't think that is the cause, but that is what it reads.

drupal 5.1
audio 5.x-1.0
getID3

I'm getting the same behavior. I haven't counted the number of characters, but it might be the call to the id3 library. I can edit the Title and Album in the database and the audio module displays it correctly.

Should the correct behavior be to try to fetch the ID3v2 tags first, then if null, try the ID3v1 tags and then give up?

Ok. More specific information this time:

the last two characters of the value and clean fields are being truncated prior to being inserted into the database. This effects the genre, year, album, and title ID3 tags. Is is possible this is happening in the parsing algorithm that converts the 'value' to the 'clean'?

Same here... When I save my audio node it truncates the last character of the title / genre (maybe other fields too). When I edit it, and save it again (without changing anything), it removes yet another character (repeating the steps will lead to the entire title / genre to disappear).
