i haven't tested this yet, but have you tried to use a lyric tag thats longer than 255 characters? a while back, i encoutered a limitation w/ the comment field being expressed w/ 2 bytes... probably the same w/ all other fields.

If the lyric tag is a proper ID3V2 tag for lyrics, and not just text slapped into the comment field, then emplode will never know about it and it won't run into that limitation in emlode.

Lyric_tag != Comment_Field.
