The function generates a SEGFAULT (!) if ran on mp3 files containing tags from different id3-versions. Therefore, you should always use the optional version parameter, such as id3_get_tag($yourfile, id3_get_version($yourfile))

I couldn't get this to work in Windows XP. Windows users may be interested to note that the following bug with Windows, reported in Feb 2006, appears not to have been fixed yet. http://pecl.php.net/bugs/search.php? cmd=display&status=Open&package_name[]=id3 (NB you'll have to concat the two lines above)
