Ok, so I thought I had looked around quite a bit before asking this, however I guess I was wrong. Not even 3 minutes after posting my question, I was reading through the site docs and bam!.... I did get id3 (V1) tags, I wanted id3 v2 and now find out I need to compile Grip with that included and that is my problem.
Figure I'd post the solution in case someone else has a similar problem
Cool
