Re: For all G4C music lovers

Hi Fer,

Some additions about the ID3-tag and why the mp3's don't play.

Old versions of the ID3-tag were written at the end of the audio file so if a decoder opened
a mp3 file it found the mp3 header. Later versions write the ID3-tag at the very start of the file
so decoders have to recognize it and skip it to find the header of the audio file.

Some mp3 decoders (probably old) seems to still only look at the very start of the file
and then because they do not find the mp3 header "think" this is not a mp3.

In that case it helps to remove the ID3-tag but some people use it to archive their music
collection on the info from the tag.
