here's the deal.
at one point, the software we use to manage mp3 tags didn't support ID3V2. we have newer software that does. that's why all the newer ones have the longer fields.
I have been re-ripping the entire library at 192K bit rate (vs 128K), and those re-rips will have the new tags. There will probably still be plenty that retain the old tags, based on when the new software came into play (I forget when that was.) As we see them, and as we have time, we will fix them. No promises as to when, as that is a lower priority than other station tasks, and we all have day jobs and families.
Redoing the tags won't bring the station down, but adding the truncated information is a MANUAL process, as well as BORING, so it will continue to be a lower priority.
Hope that explains it...
