The short answer is "No."
The slightly longer answer is "No, it can't."
The even slightly longer yet ever so slightly geeky answer is "It can't because there's a limit to the string length that the MP3 can hold." There's only so many characters that they allocated for the tags. So if you have a long band name and a long album name, the song title is going to be cut off (that's the order it seems to go in).
In short (too late!), if you've got, say,
"The R. Ephraim McGillicutty's Magical Accordian Band" and the album is
"Polka-ing Our Way Across Pennsyltucky", you're not going to have much room for long song titles like
"The Sierraville Stomp/My Spleen Itches for Reenie". It's gonna get truncated. This is why Nektar can get away with having "Salt and Vinegar and Rhythm and Blues" on their "Prodigal Son" album.
Make sense?
