First I should point out that I have not been able to reproduce this issue, but it appears to be a potential issue we don't seem to have patched in taglib. So figured I should mention it.

I noticed that libtag* did not appear in abi_used_libs for strawberry, which lead to me finding this:
https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/904097b7b1518b98350124ee0e1b7e9e6fd980fe#diff-af3b638bc2a3e6c650974192a53c7291R432

Patch taglib supposedly needs:
https://github.com/taglib/taglib/commit/9336c82d.patch

Strawberry does not currently have -DUSE_SYSTEM_TAGLIB=ON set so is not affected, but other applications might be. Some people have claimed simply playing files caused the corruption but that could be due to automatically fetching metadata not the actual playing.

kid3 seems to be using system taglib so I tried to reproduce the problem by clearing all metadata and setting title metadata using this script:

i=0
while [ $i -le  5000 ]
do
	echo "Editing metadata  $i of 5000"
	kid3-cli -c remove  "test.ogg"
	kid3-cli -c "set title 'TEST$i'" "test.ogg"
	i=$[$i+1]
done

But I still can not reproduce it.

I thought this might be global maintainer territory considering its scope so I haven't submitted a patch / rebuilds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
