[help] Truncated ID3v2 Fields in iTunes

Are Artist, Title and other ID3 fields in iTunes lenght-limited? I use foobar2000 as my music player & library organizer, and iTunes for iPod syncing. When I add a song whose title is longer than 30 characters, it gets cut off.

For example, a song titled "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix) (Ft Jay-Z)" shows up as "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Re" (both in iTunes and on my iPod).

I'm guessing this is because iTunes reads ID3v1 tags (which are also present and have limited fields). Is there a way to force iTunes to read info from ID3v2 tags?

Any other ideas?

I think foobar writes those tags as ID3v1 tags, not v2. Just go to www.musicbrainz.org and download their tagger, which automatically looks up the songs for you. That should fix it.

nope, it writes both v1 and v2.
