It's not easily possible. TagLib is not designed to work with multiple
ID3 versions (i.e. interally, it upgrades all ID3 frames to their
ID3v2.4 equivalents). I've added a way to save ID3v2.3 some time ago,
but I don't know how to handle this, because I can't guarantee that
all ID3v2.3 frames will be saved to the file if you use the ID3v2.3
version, due to using ID3v2.4 as the internal storage format.
