Identyfikator ID3 wersja 2

When playing MP3 files that contain an ID3 tag v.2:

  • No sound is heard while skipping the ID3 v.2 section (at the beginning of a track).

The skip time varies depending on the size of the ID3 v.2 tag. Example: at 64 kilobytes it is approx. 2 seconds (RealJukebox).

  • The displayed track duration is not accurate while skipping the ID3 v.2 section. For MP3 files with a bit rate other than 128 kb/s, the time is not displayed exactly during playback.
  • If an MP3 file is created using MP3 conversion software (e.g. RealJukebox - registered trademark of RealNetworks Inc.), ID3 version 2 is saved automatically.
