The METADATA_BLOCK_VORBIS_COMMENT created by MC is invalid. The Vorbis spec states that Comment Fields must not be null terminated while MC puts a null at the end.

This is generally harmless, but, I discovered, has a negative impact on some Cowon MP3 players. My new Cowon C2 incorrectly sort album track when encounters such invalid comments. Removing the incorrect termination nulls resolves the problem and the tracks get sorted by track number as expected.
