id3lib version 3.8.3. But, as reported earlier, this library is not actively 
maintained.  May I suggest you (or we) have a look at taglib? This library 
(http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html) is actively maintained and is 
known to be very good. 

I don't know how much time such a replacement would cost (I haven't looked 
into the code of GMediaStreamer [yet]) I can imagine that this would be a 
fine improvement....
