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 on ID3 tag ver. 2
capacity.
Example: At 64 kbytes, it is about 2 seconds
(with RealJukebox*).
– When skipping a portion of ID3 tag ver. 2, the
displayed elapsed playing time 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.
