Hmmm, several packages build with  libid3tag  and it hasn't seen an
upstream release for several years, so surely we can co-maintain it
as a team:

audacity
gnomad2
muine
gtkpod
imlib2-id3tag-loader

gstreamer-plugins-ugly (Livna)
mpd (Livna)
vlc (Livna)
vdr-mp3 (Livna)
mpg321 (Livna)
madplay (Livna)
