I was also having trouble with the invalid padding done by MP3ext, so I extended my [mp3TYRE tool](http://code.google.com/p/mp3tyre/) to replace that "string padding" with "zero byte padding" as required by the ID3v2 specs. Moreover, as also mentioned [here](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/3136/4), I've sent the author of MP3ext some patches which fix this issue.
