Greetings. Has someone compiled a list of common MP3 hardware/software
players and the ID3v2 tags that they use for display? As I write some
software, I want to be sure I'm adding the tags that will be useful in
most/all players.

I don't have a list, but from my experience:
ID3v2.3
frames: TIT2, TPE1, TALB

and almost everything on planet will be able to read this. It's like
the smallest set everybody first implements.

This is what I support in my library, and how I use them
