About ID3 tag version 2
Although not a malfunction, the following
occurs when an MP3 file containing ID3 tag
ver.2 is played:
– When skipping a portion of ID3 tag ver.2
(at the beginning of the track), sound is not
output. Skip time changes depending ID3
tag ver.2 capacity.
Example: At 64 kbytes, it is about 2 seconds
(with RealJukebox).
– The displayed elapsed playing time when
skipping a portion of ID3 tag ver.2 is
inaccurate. For MP3 files of a bit rate other
than 128 kbps, time is not displayed
accurately during playback.
– When an MP3 file is created with MP3
conversion software (ex. RealJukebox*), ID3
tag ver.2 will automatically be written.
