ID3 Tag Info Settings
ID3 Tag Type
The ID3 tag stores data about the
encoded audio file that is used by MP3 players to
display information about the file. Pro Tools
supports three versions of this tag, in order to
provide backward compatibility with older MP3
players:
• ID3 v1.0: Appears at the end of a streaming
MP3 file, so that tag information is only dis-
played after software streaming is finished.
• ID3 v1.1: Same as version 1.0, but adds track
number information to the tag.
• ID3 v2.3: Appears at the front of a streaming
MP3 file, so that tag information is displayed
when streaming begins.
Title/Artist/Album/Comment Type the title, art-
ist, and other information for the MP3 file. This
information is displayed by many MP3 players.
Genre Choose a genre for the file. This informa-
tion is displayed by many MP3 players, and can
appear in searchable catalogs and databases.
Track Number If you select ID3 tag type v1.1 or
v2.3, you can enter a CD track number for the
file. This information is displayed by many MP3
players.
Year Enter a year for the file. This information is
displayed by many MP3 players.
Mac File Settings
Mac File Type and Creator
If you expect your file
to be used on a Mac, you can enter the Mac file
type and creator. This will allow users to double-
click the file to open their MP3 player.

fault values, click Defaults.
Format
This is the format for the bounced result.
Choices are Mono (Summed), Multiple Mono,
and Stereo Interleaved.
To set the bounce file format:
■
Select a file format from the Format selector.
Mono (Summed)
Creates a single disk file that is
a summed mono mix of the current sources be-
ing monitored.
Before bouncing to disk, make sure your levels
are below –3 dB to avoid clipping that occurs
when left and right signals exceed –3 dB below
maximum, or full code (0 dBFS).
While ID3 v2.3 is becoming the standard
MP3 format, not all MP3 players currently
support ID3 v2.3. Contact the developer of
your player software for compatibility infor-
mation.
