Just out of curiosity - are you experiencing the same problem as me, that 
it seems impossible to add a tag to a file which does not have one 
already using libid3tag, and how have you solved it?

What I am experiencing is:

* If a file has ID3v2 but not ID3v1, only the ID3v2 tag is manipulated, no
   ID3v1 tag is added.

* If a file has ID3v1 only, vice versa.

* If a file has neither, the file won't have a tag after being processed
   by libid3tag either.

Same?
