Before ID3v2 came around, Lyrics3 and Lyrics3v2 had their uses (extending the 30-char limit, placing synced lyrics), but nowadays they are a nuisance for most of us. Plus, we have the lyrics frames USLT and SYLT in ID3v2.
Lyrics3 tags come between the audio data and an ID3v1/ID3v1.1 tag at the end of the file (sometimes without the following ID3v1 tag, even if that is mandatory according to Lyrics3 specs). Current ffmpeg and some players and tools still have bugs and try to interpret Lyrics3 tags as audio data, resulting in obscure errors. Unfortunately, there are almost no tools out there to remove Lyrics3 tags—most programs ignore them, but write them back if changing tags. When removing ID3v1 tags from a file, this can result in the illegal situation mentioned above (having a Lyrics3 tag without a following ID3v1 tag)..
This code has been tested with thousands of files but I can give no guarantees. If you destroy your whole music collection, it’s not my fault. Please have a backup!

* Your filesystem should remain tidy and clean – let’s pack tracks into uncompressed archives a.k.a. “libraries” (this was inspired by a common practice of video game developers to store all game resources in one or several packages). Less files – less clutter.
* Tags suck (especially ID3) – let’s utilize XML/YAML/JSON to describe entire albums.
* Storing cover image in every track is a waste of space – let’s have one TIFF/PNG/FLIF file per library.
* Being able to verify integrity of files in your music collection is a good feature, so let’s use hash lists (MD5, SHA1 etc.) for libraries.
* Rather than having to dig through lots of directories in order to select what you want to listen at the very particular moment it is much more convenient to have a centralized per-user database with a quick access to any track/album in your precious collection.
