Maybe the spec says so, but various clients don't work that way. And
you can end up with mismatching ID3 *and* ID3v2 data in the file, not to
mention fields not being available to you. Plenty a time I've typed in
a genre, on a client that let me do so, only to find it described as
something completely different, when I play it elsewhere.
