You'll find the original source is now on sourceforge.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/heroines/
http://heroines.sourceforge.net/libmpeg3.php3


our branched code (sublicensed as Squeak-L or LGPL) is at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/squeak/

Go look at the original source code and see if they have 
patch/upgraded it to support ID3v2 tags.

Our branch of the code contains a few changes to make it compile on 
the macintosh, some preformance mods, and removal of the D e C S S 
code and the AC3 code.

When I looked into this (MP3 libraries) a few years back I found 
other libraries are yucky!!!!

Of course maybe someone should build a http://www.vorbis.com/ plugin...
