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.
