    Disable writing of ID3v1 tags by default
    
    ID3v1 tags have many problems, including the lack of a defined character
    encoding (and a western-centric ISO-8859-1 convention), 30 bytes per
    field and an extremely limited set of fields. Depending on the behaviour
    of media players, reading the ID3v1 tag instead of the ID3v2 tag could
    give misleading information (truncated fields, mojibake and so on).
    
    As ID3v2 is in wide use, and solves the above problems, disable ID3v1 by
    default.
