Abstract
|
21
|
-
|
22
|
-
This document describes the ID3v2.3.0, which is a more developed
|
23
|
-
version of the ID3v2 informal standard [ID3v2] (version 2.2.0),
|
24
|
-
evolved from the ID3 tagging system. The ID3v2 offers a flexible way
|
25
|
-
of storing information about an audio file within itself to determine
|
26
|
-
its origin and contents. The information may be technical
|
27
|
-
information, such as equalisation curves, as well as related meta
|
28
|
-
information, such as title, performer, copyright etc.

82
|
-
|
83
|
-
In the examples, text within "" is a text string exactly as it
|
84
|
-
appears in a file. Numbers preceded with $ are hexadecimal and
|
85
|
-
numbers preceded with % are binary. $xx is used to indicate a byte
|
86
|
-
with unknown content. %x is used to indicate a bit with unknown
|
87
|
-
content. The most significant bit (MSB) of a byte is called 'bit 7'
|
88
|
-
and the least significant bit (LSB) is called 'bit 0'.

A tag is the whole tag described in this document. A frame is a block
|
91
|
-
of information in the tag. The tag consists of a header, frames and
|
92
|
-
optional padding. A field is a piece of information; one value, a
|
93
|
-
string etc. A numeric string is a string that consists of the
|
94
|
-
characters 0-9 only.

3. ID3v2 overview
|
98
|
-
|
99
|
-
The two biggest design goals were to be able to implement ID3v2
|
100
|
-
without disturbing old software too much and that ID3v2 should be
|
101
|
-
as flexible and expandable as possible.
|
102
|
-
|
103
|
-
The first criterion is met by the simple fact that the MPEG [MPEG]
|
104
|
-
decoding software uses a syncsignal, embedded in the audiostream, to
|
105
|
-
'lock on to' the audio. Since the ID3v2 tag doesn't contain a valid
|
106
|
-
syncsignal, no software will attempt to play the tag. If, for any
|
107
|
-
reason, coincidence make a syncsignal appear within the tag it will
|
108
|
-
be taken care of by the 'unsynchronisation scheme' described in
|
109
|
-
section 5.
|
110
|
-
|
111
|
-
The second criterion has made a more noticeable impact on the design
|
112
|
-
of the ID3v2 tag. It is constructed as a container for several
|
113
|
-
information blocks, called frames, whose format need not be known to
|
114
|
-
the software that encounters them. At the start of every frame there
|
115
|
-
is an identifier that explains the frames' format and content, and a
|
116
|
-
size descriptor that allows software to skip unknown frames.
|
117
|
-
|
118
|
-
If a total revision of the ID3v2 tag should be needed, there is a
|
119
|
-
version number and a size descriptor in the ID3v2 header.
|
120
|
-
|
121
|
-
The ID3 tag described in this document is mainly targeted at files
|
122
|
-
encoded with MPEG-1/2 layer I, MPEG-1/2 layer II, MPEG-1/2 layer III
|
123
|
-
and MPEG-2.5, but may work with other types of encoded audio.
|
124
|
-
|
125
|
-
The bitorder in ID3v2 is most significant bit first (MSB). The
|
126
|
-
byteorder in multibyte numbers is most significant byte first (e.g.
|
127
|
-
$12345678 would be encoded $12 34 56 78).
|
128
|
-
|
129
|
-
It is permitted to include padding after all the final frame (at the
|
130
|
-
end of the ID3 tag), making the size of all the frames together
|
131
|
-
smaller than the size given in the head of the tag. A possible
|
132
|
-
purpose of this padding is to allow for adding a few additional
|
133
|
-
frames or enlarge existing frames within the tag without having to
|
134
|
-
rewrite the entire file. The value of the padding bytes must be $00.
|
135
|
-
|
136
|
-
|
137
|
-
3.1. ID3v2 header
|
138
|
-
|
139
|
-
The ID3v2 tag header, which should be the first information in the
|
140
|
-
file, is 10 bytes as follows:
|
141
|
-
|
142
|
-
ID3v2/file identifier "ID3"
|
143
|
-
ID3v2 version $03 00
|
144
|
-
ID3v2 flags %abc00000
|
145
|
-
ID3v2 size 4 * %0xxxxxxx
|
146
|
-
|
147
|
-
The first three bytes of the tag are always "ID3" to indicate that
|
148
|
-
this is an ID3v2 tag, directly followed by the two version bytes. The
|
149
|
-
first byte of ID3v2 version is it's major version, while the second
|
150
|
-
byte is its revision number. In this case this is ID3v2.3.0. All
|
151
|
-
revisions are backwards compatible while major versions are not. If
|
152
|
-
software with ID3v2.2.0 and below support should encounter version
|
153
|
-
three or higher it should simply ignore the whole tag. Version and
|
154
|
-
revision will never be $FF.
|
155
|
-
|
156
|
-
The version is followed by one the ID3v2 flags field, of which
|
157
|
-
currently only three flags are used.
|
158
|
-
|
159
|
-
|
160
|
-
a - Unsynchronisation
|
161
|
-
|
162
|
-
Bit 7 in the 'ID3v2 flags' indicates whether or not
|
163
|
-
unsynchronisation is used (see section 5 for details); a set bit
|
164
|
-
indicates usage.
|
165
|
-
|
166
|
-
|
167
|
-
b - Extended header
|
168
|
-
|
169
|
-
The second bit (bit 6) indicates whether or not the header is
|
170
|
-
followed by an extended header. The extended header is described in
|
171
|
-
section 3.2.
|
172
|
-
|
173
|
-
|
174
|
-
c - Experimental indicator
|
175
|
-
|
176
|
-
The third bit (bit 5) should be used as an 'experimental
|
177
|
-
indicator'. This flag should always be set when the tag is in an
|
178
|
-
experimental stage.
|
179
|
-
|
180
|
-
All the other flags should be cleared. If one of these undefined
|
181
|
-
flags are set that might mean that the tag is not readable for a
|
182
|
-
parser that does not know the flags function.
|
183
|
-
|
184
|
-
The ID3v2 tag size is encoded with four bytes where the most
|
185
|
-
significant bit (bit 7) is set to zero in every byte, making a total
|
186
|
-
of 28 bits. The zeroed bits are ignored, so a 257 bytes long tag is
|
187
|
-
represented as $00 00 02 01.
|
188
|
-
|
189
|
-
The ID3v2 tag size is the size of the complete tag after
|
190
|
-
unsychronisation, including padding, excluding the header but not
|
191
|
-
excluding the extended header (total tag size - 10). Only 28 bits
|
192
|
-
(representing up to 256MB) are used in the size description to avoid
|
193
|
-
the introducuction of 'false syncsignals'.
|
194
|
-
|
195
|
-
An ID3v2 tag can be detected with the following pattern:
|
196
|
-
$49 44 33 yy yy xx zz zz zz zz
|
197
|
-
Where yy is less than $FF, xx is the 'flags' byte and zz is less than
|
198
|
-
$80.
|
199
|
-
|
200
|
-
|
201
|
-
3.2. ID3v2 extended header
|
202
|
-
|
203
|
-
The extended header contains information that is not vital to the
|
204
|
-
correct parsing of the tag information, hence the extended header is
|
205
|
-
optional.
|
206
|
-
|
207
|
-
Extended header size $xx xx xx xx
|
208
|
-
Extended Flags $xx xx
|
209
|
-
Size of padding $xx xx xx xx
|
210
|
-
|
211
|
-
Where the 'Extended header size', currently 6 or 10 bytes, excludes
|
212
|
-
itself. The 'Size of padding' is simply the total tag size excluding
|
213
|
-
the frames and the headers, in other words the padding. The extended
|
214
|
-
header is considered separate from the header proper, and as such is
|
215
|
-
subject to unsynchronisation.
|
216
|
-
|
217
|
-
The extended flags are a secondary flag set which describes further
|
218
|
-
attributes of the tag. These attributes are currently defined as
|
219
|
-
follows
|
220
|
-
|
221
|
-
%x0000000 00000000
|
222
|
-
|
223
|
-
|
224
|
-
x - CRC data present
|
225
|
-
|
226
|
-
If this flag is set four bytes of CRC-32 data is appended to the
|
227
|
-
extended header. The CRC should be calculated before
|
228
|
-
unsynchronisation on the data between the extended header and the
|
229
|
-
padding, i.e. the frames and only the frames.
|
230
|
-
|
231
|
-
Total frame CRC $xx xx xx xx
|
232
|
-
|
233
|
-
|
234
|
-
3.3. ID3v2 frame overview
|
235
|
-
|
236
|
-
As the tag consists of a tag header and a tag body with one or more
|
237
|
-
frames, all the frames consists of a frame header followed by one or
|
238
|
-
more fields containing the actual information. The layout of the
|
239
|
-
frame header:
|
240
|
-
|
241
|
-
Frame ID $xx xx xx xx (four characters)
|
242
|
-
Size $xx xx xx xx
|
243
|
-
Flags $xx xx
|
244
|
-
|
245
|
-
The frame ID made out of the characters capital A-Z and 0-9.
|
246
|
-
Identifiers beginning with "X", "Y" and "Z" are for experimental use
|
247
|
-
and free for everyone to use, without the need to set the
|
248
|
-
experimental bit in the tag header. Have in mind that someone else
|
249
|
-
might have used the same identifier as you. All other identifiers are
|
250
|
-
either used or reserved for future use.
|
251
|
-
|
252
|
-
The frame ID is followed by a size descriptor, making a total header
|
253
|
-
size of ten bytes in every frame. The size is calculated as frame
|
254
|
-
size excluding frame header (frame size - 10).
|
255
|
-
|
256
|
-
In the frame header the size descriptor is followed by two flags
|
257
|
-
bytes. These flags are described in section 3.3.1.
|
258
|
-
|
259
|
-
There is no fixed order of the frames' appearance in the tag,
|
260
|
-
although it is desired that the frames are arranged in order of
|
261

-
significance concerning the recognition of the file. An example of
|
262
|
-
such order: UFID, TIT2, MCDI, TRCK ...
|
263
|
-
|
264
|
-
A tag must contain at least one frame. A frame must be at least 1
|
265
|
-
byte big, excluding the header.
|
266
|
-
|
267
|
-
If nothing else is said a string is represented as ISO-8859-1
|
268
|
-
[ISO-8859-1] characters in the range $20 - $FF. Such strings are
|
269
|
-
represented as <text string>, or <full text string> if newlines are
|
270
|
-
allowed, in the frame descriptions. All Unicode strings [UNICODE] use
|
271
|
-
16-bit unicode 2.0 (ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993, UCS-2). Unicode strings
|
272
|
-
must begin with the Unicode BOM ($FF FE or $FE FF) to identify the
|
273
|
-
byte order.
|
274
|
-
|
275
|
-
All numeric strings and URLs [URL] are always encoded as ISO-8859-1.
|
276
|
-
Terminated strings are terminated with $00 if encoded with ISO-8859-1
|
277
|
-
and $00 00 if encoded as unicode. If nothing else is said newline
|
278
|
-
character is forbidden. In ISO-8859-1 a new line is represented, when
|
279
|
-
allowed, with $0A only. Frames that allow different types of text
|
280
|
-
encoding have a text encoding description byte directly after the
|
281
|
-
frame size. If ISO-8859-1 is used this byte should be $00, if Unicode
|
282
|
-
is used it should be $01. Strings dependent on encoding is
|
283
|
-
represented as <text string according to encoding>, or <full text
|
284
|
-
string according to encoding> if newlines are allowed. Any empty
|
285
|
-
Unicode strings which are NULL-terminated may have the Unicode BOM
|
286
|
-
followed by a Unicode NULL ($FF FE 00 00 or $FE FF 00 00).
|
287
|
-
|
288
|
-
The three byte language field is used to describe the language of the
|
289
|
-
frame's content, according to ISO-639-2 [ISO-639-2].
|
290
|
-
|
291
|
-
All URLs [URL] may be relative, e.g. "picture.png", "../doc.txt".
|
292
|
-
|
293
|
-
If a frame is longer than it should be, e.g. having more fields than
|
294
|
-
specified in this document, that indicates that additions to the
|
295
|
-
frame have been made in a later version of the ID3v2 standard. This
|
296
|
-
is reflected by the revision number in the header of the tag.

3.3.1. Frame header flags
|
300
|
-
|
301
|
-
In the frame header the size descriptor is followed by two flags
|
302
|
-
bytes. All unused flags must be cleared. The first byte is for
|
303
|
-
'status messages' and the second byte is for encoding purposes. If an
|
304
|
-
unknown flag is set in the first byte the frame may not be changed
|
305
|
-
without the bit cleared. If an unknown flag is set in the second byte
|
306
|
-
it is likely to not be readable. The flags field is defined as
|
307
|
-
follows.
|
308
|
-
|
309
|
-
%abc00000 %ijk00000
|
310
|
-
|
311
|
-
|
312
|
-
a - Tag alter preservation
|
313
|
-
|
314
|
-
This flag tells the software what to do with this frame if it is
|
315
|
-
unknown and the tag is altered in any way. This applies to all
|
316
|
-
kinds of alterations, including adding more padding and reordering
|
317
|
-
the frames.
|
318
|
-
|
319
|
-
0 Frame should be preserved.
|
320
|
-
1 Frame should be discarded.
|
321
|
-
|
322
|
-
|
323
|
-
b - File alter preservation
|
324
|
-
|
325
|
-
This flag tells the software what to do with this frame if it is
|
326
|
-
unknown and the file, excluding the tag, is altered. This does not
|
327
|
-
apply when the audio is completely replaced with other audio data.
|
328
|
-
|
329
|
-
0 Frame should be preserved.
|
330
|
-
1 Frame should be discarded.
|
331
|
-
|
332
|
-
|
333
|
-
c - Read only
|
334
|
-
|
335
|
-
This flag, if set, tells the software that the contents of this
|
336
|
-
frame is intended to be read only. Changing the contents might
|
337
|
-
break something, e.g. a signature. If the contents are changed,
|
338
|
-
without knowledge in why the frame was flagged read only and
|
339
|
-
without taking the proper means to compensate, e.g. recalculating
|
340
|
-
the signature, the bit should be cleared.
|
341
|
-
|
342
|
-
|
343
|
-
i - Compression
|
344
|
-
|
345
|
-
This flag indicates whether or not the frame is compressed.
|
346
|
-
|
347
|
-
0 Frame is not compressed.
|
348
|
-
1 Frame is compressed using zlib [zlib] with 4 bytes for
|
349
|
-
'decompressed size' appended to the frame header.
|
350
|
-
|
351
|
-
|
352
|
-
j - Encryption
|
353
|
-
|
354
|
-
This flag indicates wether or not the frame is enrypted. If set
|
355
|
-
one byte indicating with which method it was encrypted will be
|
356
|
-
appended to the frame header. See section 4.26. for more
|
357
|
-
information about encryption method registration.
|
358
|
-
|
359
|
-
0 Frame is not encrypted.
|
360
|
-
1 Frame is encrypted.
|
361
|
-
|
362
|
-
|
363
|
-
k - Grouping identity
|
364
|
-
|
365
|
-
This flag indicates whether or not this frame belongs in a group
|
366
|
-
with other frames. If set a group identifier byte is added to the
|
367
|
-
frame header. Every frame with the same group identifier belongs
|
368
|
-
to the same group.
|
369
|
-
|
370
|
-
0 Frame does not contain group information
|
371
|
-
1 Frame contains group information
|
372
|
-
|
373
|
-
|
374
|
-
Some flags indicates that the frame header is extended with
|
375
|
-
additional information. This information will be added to the frame
|
376
|
-
header in the same order as the flags indicating the additions. I.e.
|
377
|
-
the four bytes of decompressed size will preceed the encryption
|
378
|
-
method byte. These additions to the frame header, while not included
|
379
|
-
in the frame header size but are included in the 'frame size' field,
|
380
|
-
are not subject to encryption or compression.
|
381
|
-
|
382
|
-
|
383
|
-
3.3.2. Default flags
|
384
|
-
|
385
|
-
The default settings for the frames described in this document can be
|
386
|
-
divided into the following classes. The flags may be set differently
|
387
|
-
if found more suitable by the software.

4.1. Unique file identifier
|
500
|
-
|
501
|
-
This frame's purpose is to be able to identify the audio file in a
|
502
|
-
database that may contain more information relevant to the content.
|
503
|
-
Since standardisation of such a database is beyond this document, all
|
504
|
-
frames begin with a null-terminated string with a URL [URL]
|
505
|
-
containing an email address, or a link to a location where an email
|
506
|
-
address can be found, that belongs to the organisation responsible
|
507
|
-
for this specific database implementation. Questions regarding the
|
508
|
-
database should be sent to the indicated email address. The URL
|
509
|
-
should not be used for the actual database queries. The string
|
510
|
-
"<a href="http://www.id3.org/dummy/ufid.html">http://www.id3.org/dummy/ufid.html</a>" should be used for tests.
|
511
|
-
Software that isn't told otherwise may safely remove such frames. The
|
512
|
-
'Owner identifier' must be non-empty (more than just a termination).
|
513
|
-
The 'Owner identifier' is then followed by the actual identifier,
|
514
|
-
which may be up to 64 bytes. There may be more than one "UFID" frame
|
515
|
-
in a tag, but only one with the same 'Owner identifier'.
|
516
|
-
|
517
|
-
<Header for 'Unique file identifier', ID: "UFID">
|
518
|
-
Owner identifier <text string> $00
|
519
|
-
Identifier <up to 64 bytes binary data>
|
520
|
-
|
521
|
-
|
522
|
-
4.2. Text information frames
|
523
|
-
|
524
|
-
The text information frames are the most important frames, containing
|
525
|
-
information like artist, album and more. There may only be one text
|
526
|
-
information frame of its kind in an tag. If the textstring is
|
527
|
-
followed by a termination ($00 (00)) all the following information
|
528
|
-
should be ignored and not be displayed. All text frame identifiers
|
529
|
-
begin with "T". Only text frame identifiers begin with "T", with the
|
530
|
-
exception of the "TXXX" frame. All the text information frames have
|
531
|
-
the following format:
|
532
|
-
|
533
|
-
<Header for 'Text information frame', ID: "T000" - "TZZZ",
|
534
|
-
excluding "TXXX" described in 4.2.2.>
|
535
|
-

4.2.1. Text information frames - details
|
540
|
-
|
541
|
-
TALB
|
542
|
-
The 'Album/Movie/Show title' frame is intended for the title of the
|
543
|
-
recording(/source of sound) which the audio in the file is taken
|
544
|
-
from.
|
545
|
-
|
546
|
-
TBPM
|
547
|
-
The 'BPM' frame contains the number of beats per minute in the
|
548
|
-
mainpart of the audio. The BPM is an integer and represented as a
|
549
|
-
numerical string.
|
550
|
-
|
551
|
-
TCOM
|
552
|
-
The 'Composer(s)' frame is intended for the name of the composer(s).
|
553
|
-
They are seperated with the "/" character.
|
554
|
-
|
555
|
-
TCON
|
556
|
-
The 'Content type', which previously was stored as a one byte numeric
|
557
|
-
value only, is now a numeric string. You may use one or several of
|
558
|
-
the types as ID3v1.1 did or, since the category list would be
|
559
|
-
impossible to maintain with accurate and up to date categories,
|
560
|
-
define your own.
|
561
|
-
|
562
|
-
References to the ID3v1 genres can be made by, as first byte, enter
|
563
|
-
"(" followed by a number from the genres list (appendix A.) and
|
564
|
-
ended with a ")" character. This is optionally followed by a
|
565
|
-
refinement, e.g. "(21)" or "(4)Eurodisco". Several references can be
|
566
|
-
made in the same frame, e.g. "(51)(39)". If the refinement should
|
567
|
-
begin with a "(" character it should be replaced with "((", e.g. "((I
|
568
|
-
can figure out any genre)" or "(55)((I think...)". The following new
|
569
|
-
content types is defined in ID3v2 and is implemented in the same way
|
570
|
-
as the numerig content types, e.g. "(RX)".

-
TCOP
|
576
|
-
The 'Copyright message' frame, which must begin with a year and a
|
577
|
-
space character (making five characters), is intended for the
|
578
|
-
copyright holder of the original sound, not the audio file itself.
|
579
|
-
The absence of this frame means only that the copyright information
|
580
|
-
is unavailable or has been removed, and must not be interpreted to
|
581

4.3.2. User defined URL link frame
|
928
|
-
|
929
|
-
This frame is intended for URL [URL] links concerning the audiofile
|
930
|
-
in a similar way to the other "W"-frames. The frame body consists
|
931
|
-
of a description of the string, represented as a terminated string,
|
932
|
-
followed by the actual URL. The URL is always encoded with ISO-8859-1
|
933
|
-
[ISO-8859-1]. There may be more than one "WXXX" frame in each tag,
|
934
|
-
but only one with the same description.

4.4. Involved people list
|
943
|
-
|
944
|
-
Since there might be a lot of people contributing to an audio file in
|
945
|
-
various ways, such as musicians and technicians, the 'Text
|
946
|
-
information frames' are often insufficient to list everyone involved
|
947
|
-
in a project. The 'Involved people list' is a frame containing the
|
948
|
-
names of those involved, and how they were involved. The body simply
|
949
|
-
contains a terminated string with the involvement directly followed
|
950
|
-
by a terminated string with the involvee followed by a new
|
951
|
-
involvement and so on. There may only be one "IPLS" frame in each
|
952
|
-
tag.

4.5. Music CD identifier
|
960
|
-
|
961
|
-
This frame is intended for music that comes from a CD, so that the CD
|
962
|
-
can be identified in databases such as the CDDB [CDDB]. The frame
|
963
|
-
consists of a binary dump of the Table Of Contents, TOC, from the CD,
|
964
|
-
which is a header of 4 bytes and then 8 bytes/track on the CD plus 8
|
965
|
-
bytes for the 'lead out' making a maximum of 804 bytes. The offset to
|
966
|
-
the beginning of every track on the CD should be described with a
|
967
|
-
four bytes absolute CD-frame address per track, and not with absolute
|
968
|
-
time. This frame requires a present and valid "TRCK" frame, even if
|
969
|
-
the CD's only got one track. There may only be one "MCDI" frame in
|
970
|
-
each tag.

4.6. Event timing codes
|
977
|
-
|
978
|
-
This frame allows synchronisation with key events in a song or sound.
|
979
|
-
The header is:
|
980
|
-
|
981
|
-
<Header for 'Event timing codes', ID: "ETCO">
|
982
|
-
Time stamp format $xx
|
983
|
-
|
984
|
-
Where time stamp format is:
|
985
|
-
|
986
|
-
$01 Absolute time, 32 bit sized, using MPEG [MPEG] frames as unit
|
987
|
-
$02 Absolute time, 32 bit sized, using milliseconds as unit
|
988
|
-
|
989
|
-
Abolute time means that every stamp contains the time from the
|
990
|
-
beginning of the file.
|
991
|
-
|
992
|
-
Followed by a list of key events in the following format:
|
993
|
-
|
994
|
-
Type of event $xx
|
995
|
-
Time stamp $xx (xx ...)
|
996
|
-
|
997
|
-
The 'Time stamp' is set to zero if directly at the beginning of the
|
998
|
-
sound or after the previous event. All events should be sorted in
|
999
|
-
chronological order. The type of event is as follows:
|
1000
|
-
|
1001
|
-

|
1034
|
-
Terminating the start events such as "intro start" is not required.
|
1035
|
-
The 'Not predefined sync's ($E0-EF) are for user events. You might
|
1036
|
-
want to synchronise your music to something, like setting of an
|
1037
|
-
explosion on-stage, turning on your screensaver etc.
|
1038
|
-
|
1039
|
-
There may only be one "ETCO" frame in each tag.

|
-
4.7. MPEG location lookup table
|
1043
|
-
|
1044
|
-
To increase performance and accuracy of jumps within a MPEG [MPEG]
|
1045
|
-
audio file, frames with timecodes in different locations in the file
|
1046
|
-
might be useful. The ID3v2 frame includes references that the
|
1047
|
-
software can use to calculate positions in the file. After the frame
|
1048
|
-
header is a descriptor of how much the 'frame counter' should
|
1049
|
-
increase for every reference. If this value is two then the first
|
1050
|
-
reference points out the second frame, the 2nd reference the 4th
|
1051
|
-
frame, the 3rd reference the 6th frame etc. In a similar way the
|
1052
|
-
'bytes between reference' and 'milliseconds between reference' points
|
1053
|
-
out bytes and milliseconds respectively.
|
1054
|
-
|
1055
|
-
Each reference consists of two parts; a certain number of bits, as
|
1056
|
-
defined in 'bits for bytes deviation', that describes the difference
|
1057
|
-
between what is said in 'bytes between reference' and the reality and
|
1058
|
-
a certain number of bits, as defined in 'bits for milliseconds
|
1059
|
-
deviation', that describes the difference between what is said in
|
1060
|
-
'milliseconds between reference' and the reality. The number of bits
|
1061
|
-
in every reference, i.e. 'bits for bytes deviation'+'bits for
|
1062
|
-
milliseconds deviation', must be a multiple of four. There may only
|
1063
|
-
be one "MLLT" frame in each tag.
|
1064
|
-
|
1065
|
-
<Header for 'Location lookup table', ID: "MLLT">
|
1066
|
-
MPEG frames between reference $xx xx
|
1067

|
-
Milliseconds between reference $xx xx xx

Bits for bytes deviation $xx
|
1070
|
-
Bits for milliseconds dev. $xx
|
1071
|
-
|
1072
|
-
Then for every reference the following data is included;
|
1073
|
-
|
1074
|
-
Deviation in bytes %xxx....
|
1075
|
-
Deviation in milliseconds %xxx....

|
-
4.8. Synchronised tempo codes
|
1079
|
-
|
1080
|
-
For a more accurate description of the tempo of a musical piece this
|
1081
|
-
frame might be used. After the header follows one byte describing
|
1082
|
-
which time stamp format should be used. Then follows one or more
|
1083
|
-
tempo codes. Each tempo code consists of one tempo part and one time
|
1084
|
-
part. The tempo is in BPM described with one or two bytes. If the
|
1085
|
-
first byte has the value $FF, one more byte follows, which is added
|
1086
|
-
to the first giving a range from 2 - 510 BPM, since $00 and $01 is
|
1087
|
-
reserved. $00 is used to describe a beat-free time period, which is
|
1088
|
-
not the same as a music-free time period. $01 is used to indicate one
|
1089
|
-
single beat-stroke followed by a beat-free period.
|
1090
|
-
|
1091
|
-
The tempo descriptor is followed by a time stamp. Every time the
|
1092
|
-
tempo in the music changes, a tempo descriptor may indicate this for
|
1093
|
-
the player. All tempo descriptors should be sorted in chronological
|
1094
|
-
order. The first beat-stroke in a time-period is at the same time as
|
1095
|
-
the beat description occurs. There may only be one "SYTC" frame in
|
1096
|
-
each tag.

4.9. Unsychronised lyrics/text transcription
|
1112
|
-
|
1113
|
-
This frame contains the lyrics of the song or a text transcription of
|
1114
|
-
other vocal activities. The head includes an encoding descriptor and
|
1115
|
-
a content descriptor. The body consists of the actual text. The
|
1116
|
-
'Content descriptor' is a terminated string. If no descriptor is
|
1117
|
-
entered, 'Content descriptor' is $00 (00) only. Newline characters
|
1118
|
-
are allowed in the text. There may be more than one 'Unsynchronised
|
1119
|
-

|
1120
|
-
same language and content descriptor.

This is another way of incorporating the words, said or sung lyrics,
|
1132
|
-
in the audio file as text, this time, however, in sync with the
|
1133
|
-
audio. It might also be used to describing events e.g. occurring on a
|
1134
|
-
stage or on the screen in sync with the audio. The header includes a
|
1135
|
-
content descriptor, represented with as terminated textstring. If no

-
Time stamp format is:
|
1160
|
-
|
1161
|
-
$01 Absolute time, 32 bit sized, using MPEG [MPEG] frames as unit
|
1162
|
-
$02 Absolute time, 32 bit sized, using milliseconds as unit
|
1163
|
-
|
1164
|
-
Abolute time means that every stamp contains the time from the
|
1165
|
-
beginning of the file.
|
1166
|
-
|
1167
|
-
The text that follows the frame header differs from that of the
|
1168
|
-
unsynchronised lyrics/text transcription in one major way. Each
|
1169
|
-
syllable (or whatever size of text is considered to be convenient by
|
1170
|
-
the encoder) is a null terminated string followed by a time stamp
|
1171
|
-
denoting where in the sound file it belongs. Each sync thus has the
|
1172
|
-
following structure:
|
1173
|
-
|
1174
|
-
Terminated text to be synced (typically a syllable)
|
1175
|
-
Sync identifier (terminator to above string) $00 (00)
|
1176
|
-
Time stamp $xx (xx ...)
|
1177
|
-
|
1178
|
-
The 'time stamp' is set to zero or the whole sync is omitted if
|
1179
|
-
located directly at the beginning of the sound. All time stamps
|
1180
|
-
should be sorted in chronological order. The sync can be considered
|
1181
|
-
as a validator of the subsequent string.
|
1182
|
-
|
1183
|
-
Newline ($0A) characters are allowed in all "SYLT" frames and should
|
1184
|
-
be used after every entry (name, event etc.) in a frame with the
|
1185
|
-
content type $03 - $04.
|
1186
|
-
|
1187
|
-
A few considerations regarding whitespace characters: Whitespace
|
1188
|
-
separating words should mark the beginning of a new word, thus
|
1189
|
-
occurring in front of the first syllable of a new word. This is also
|
1190
|
-
valid for new line characters. A syllable followed by a comma should
|
1191
|
-
not be broken apart with a sync (both the syllable and the comma
|
1192
|
-
should be before the sync).
|
1193
|
-
|
1194
|
-
An example: The "USLT" passage
|
1195
|
-
|
1196
|
-
"Strangers in the night" $0A "Exchanging glances"
|
1197
|
-
|
1198
|
-
would be "SYLT" encoded as:
|
1199
|
-
|
1200
|
-
"Strang" $00 xx xx "ers" $00 xx xx " in" $00 xx xx " the" $00 xx xx
|
1201
|
-
" night" $00 xx xx 0A "Ex" $00 xx xx "chang" $00 xx xx "ing" $00 xx
|
1202
|
-
xx "glan" $00 xx xx "ces" $00 xx xx
|
1203
|
-
|
1204
|
-
There may be more than one "SYLT" frame in each tag, but only one
|
1205
|
-
with the same language and content descriptor.
|

4.11. Comments
|
1209
|
-
|
1210
|
-
This frame is indended for any kind of full text information that
|
1211
|
-
does not fit in any other frame. It consists of a frame header
|
1212
|
-
followed by encoding, language and content descriptors and is ended
|
1213
|
-
with the actual comment as a text string. Newline characters are
|
1214
|
-
allowed in the comment text string. There may be more than one
|
1215
|
-
comment frame in each tag, but only one with the same language and
|
1216
|
-
content descriptor.

4.12. Relative volume adjustment
|
1226
|
-
|
1227
|
-
This is a more subjective function than the previous ones. It allows
|
1228
|
-
the user to say how much he wants to increase/decrease the volume on
|
1229
|
-
each channel while the file is played. The purpose is to be able to
|
1230
|
-
align all files to a reference volume, so that you don't have to
|
1231
|
-
change the volume constantly. This frame may also be used to balance
|
1232

adjust the audio. If the volume peak levels are known then this could
|
1233
|
-
be described with the 'Peak volume right' and 'Peak volume left'
|
1234
|
-
field. If Peakvolume is not known these fields could be left zeroed
|
1235
|
-
or, if no other data follows, be completely omitted. There may only
|
1236
|
-
be one "RVAD" frame in each tag.

In the increment/decrement field bit 0 is used to indicate the right

1248
|
-
increment and 0 is decrement.
|
1249
|
-
|
1250
|
-
The 'bits used for volume description' field is normally $10 (16
|
1251
|
-
bits) for MPEG 2 layer I, II and III [MPEG] and MPEG 2.5. This value
|
1252
|
-
may not be $00. The volume is always represented with whole bytes,
|
1253
|
-
padded in the beginning (highest bits) when 'bits used for volume

|
1255
|

|
1256

This datablock is then optionally followed by a volume definition for

1257
|
-
the left and right back channels. If this information is appended to
|
1258
|
-
the frame the first two channels will be treated as front channels.
|
1259
|

In the increment/decrement field bit 2 is used to indicate the right

4.13. Equalisation
|
1284
|
-
|
1285
|
-
This is another subjective, alignment frame. It allows the user to
|
1286
|
-
predefine an equalisation curve within the audio file. There may only
|
1287
|
-
be one "EQUA" frame in each tag.

|

<Header of 'Equalisation', ID: "EQUA">
|
1290
|
-
Adjustment bits $xx
|
1291
|
-
|
1292
|
-
The 'adjustment bits' field defines the number of bits used for
|
1293
|
-
representation of the adjustment. This is normally $10 (16 bits) for
|
1294
|
-
MPEG 2 layer I, II and III [MPEG] and MPEG 2.5. This value may not be
|
1295
|
-
$00.
|
1296
|
-
|
1297
|
-
This is followed by 2 bytes + ('adjustment bits' rounded up to the
|
1298
|
-
nearest byte) for every equalisation band in the following format,
|
1299
|
-
giving a frequency range of 0 - 32767Hz:
|
1300
|
-
|
1301
|
-
Increment/decrement %x (MSB of the Frequency)
|
1302
|
-
Frequency (lower 15 bits)
|
1303
|
-
Adjustment $xx (xx ...)
|
1304
|
-
|
1305
|
-
The increment/decrement bit is 1 for increment and 0 for decrement.
|
1306
|
-
The equalisation bands should be ordered increasingly with reference
|
1307
|
-
to frequency. All frequencies don't have to be declared. The
|
1308
|
-
equalisation curve in the reading software should be interpolated
|
1309
|
-
between the values in this frame. Three equal adjustments for three
|
1310
|
-
subsequent frequencies. A frequency should only be described once in
|
1311
|
-
the frame.

-
|
1314

4.14. Reverb
|
1315
|
-
|
1316
|
-
Yet another subjective one. You may here adjust echoes of different
|
1317
|
-
kinds. Reverb left/right is the delay between every bounce in ms.
|
1318
|
-
Reverb bounces left/right is the number of bounces that should be
|
1319
|
-
made. $FF equals an infinite number of bounces. Feedback is the
|
1320
|
-
amount of volume that should be returned to the next echo bounce. $00
|
1321
|
-
is 0%, $FF is 100%. If this value were $7F, there would be 50% volume
|
1322
|
-
reduction on the first bounce, 50% of that on the second and so on.
|
1323
|
-
Left to left means the sound from the left bounce to be played in the
|
1324
|
-
left speaker, while left to right means sound from the left bounce to
|
1325
|
-
be played in the right speaker.
|
1326
|
-
|
1327
|
-
'Premix left to right' is the amount of left sound to be mixed in the
|
1328
|
-
right before any reverb is applied, where $00 id 0% and $FF is 100%.
|
1329
|
-
'Premix right to left' does the same thing, but right to left.
|
1330
|
-
Setting both premix to $FF would result in a mono output (if the
|
1331
|
-
reverb is applied symmetric). There may only be one "RVRB" frame in
|
1332
|
-
each tag.

4.15. Attached picture
|
1348
|
-
|
1349
|
-
This frame contains a picture directly related to the audio file.
|
1350
|
-
Image format is the MIME type and subtype [MIME] for the image. In
|
1351
|
-
the event that the MIME media type name is omitted, "image/" will be
|
1352
|
-
implied. The "image/png" [PNG] or "image/jpeg" [JFIF] picture format
|
1353
|
-
should be used when interoperability is wanted. Description is a
|
1354
|
-
short description of the picture, represented as a terminated
|
1355
|
-
textstring. The description has a maximum length of 64 characters,
|
1356
|
-
but may be empty. There may be several pictures attached to one file,
|
1357
|
-
each in their individual "APIC" frame, but only one with the same
|
1358
|
-
content descriptor. There may only be one picture with the picture
|
1359
|
-
type declared as picture type $01 and $02 respectively. There is the
|
1360
|
-
possibility to put only a link to the image file by using the 'MIME
|
1361
|
-
type' "-->" and having a complete URL [URL] instead of picture data.
|
1362
|
-
The use of linked files should however be used sparingly since there
|
1363
|
-
is the risk of separation of files.

4.16. General encapsulated object
|
1397
|
-
|
1398
|
-
In this frame any type of file can be encapsulated. After the header,
|
1399
|
-
'Frame size' and 'Encoding' follows 'MIME type' [MIME] represented as
|
1400
|
-
as a terminated string encoded with ISO 8859-1 [ISO-8859-1]. The
|
1401
|
-
filename is case sensitive and is encoded as 'Encoding'. Then follows
|
1402
|
-
a content description as terminated string, encoded as 'Encoding'.
|
1403
|
-
The last thing in the frame is the actual object. The first two
|
1404
|
-
strings may be omitted, leaving only their terminations. MIME type is
|
1405
|
-
always an ISO-8859-1 text string. There may be more than one "GEOB"
|
1406
|
-
frame in each tag, but only one with the same content descriptor.

4.17. Play counter
|
1417
|
-
|
1418
|
-
This is simply a counter of the number of times a file has been
|
1419
|
-
played. The value is increased by one every time the file begins to
|
1420
|
-
play. There may only be one "PCNT" frame in each tag. When the
|
1421
|
-
counter reaches all one's, one byte is inserted in front of the
|
1422
|
-
counter thus making the counter eight bits bigger. The counter must
|
1423
|
-
be at least 32-bits long to begin with.

4.18. Popularimeter
|
1430
|
-
|
1431
|
-
The purpose of this frame is to specify how good an audio file is.
|
1432
|
-
Many interesting applications could be found to this frame such as a
|
1433
|
-
playlist that features better audiofiles more often than others or it
|
1434
|
-
could be used to profile a person's taste and find other 'good' files
|
1435
|
-
by comparing people's profiles. The frame is very simple. It contains
|
1436
|
-
the email address to the user, one rating byte and a four byte play
|
1437
|
-
counter, intended to be increased with one for every time the file is
|
1438
|
-
played. The email is a terminated string. The rating is 1-255 where
|
1439
|
-
1 is worst and 255 is best. 0 is unknown. If no personal counter is
|
1440
|
-
wanted it may be omitted. When the counter reaches all one's, one
|
1441
|
-
byte is inserted in front of the counter thus making the counter
|
1442
|
-
eight bits bigger in the same away as the play counter ("PCNT").
|
1443
|
-
There may be more than one "POPM" frame in each tag, but only one
|
1444
|
-
with the same email address.

4.19. Recommended buffer size
|
1453
|
-
|
1454
|
-
Sometimes the server from which a audio file is streamed is aware of
|
1455
|
-
transmission or coding problems resulting in interruptions in the
|
1456
|
-
audio stream. In these cases, the size of the buffer can be
|
1457
|
-
recommended by the server using this frame. If the 'embedded info
|
1458
|
-
flag' is true (1) then this indicates that an ID3 tag with the
|
1459
|
-
maximum size described in 'Buffer size' may occur in the audiostream.
|
1460
|
-
In such case the tag should reside between two MPEG [MPEG] frames, if
|
1461
|
-
the audio is MPEG encoded. If the position of the next tag is known,
|
1462
|
-
'offset to next tag' may be used. The offset is calculated from the
|
1463
|
-
end of tag in which this frame resides to the first byte of the
|
1464
|
-
header in the next. This field may be omitted. Embedded tags are
|
1465
|
-
generally not recommended since this could render unpredictable
|
1466
|
-
behaviour from present software/hardware.
|
1467
|
-
|
1468
|
-
For applications like streaming audio it might be an idea to embed
|
1469
|
-
tags into the audio stream though. If the clients connects to
|
1470
|
-
individual connections like HTTP and there is a possibility to begin
|
1471
|
-
every transmission with a tag, then this tag should include a
|
1472
|
-
'recommended buffer size' frame. If the client is connected to a
|
1473
|
-
arbitrary point in the stream, such as radio or multicast, then the
|
1474
|
-
'recommended buffer size' frame should be included in every tag.
|
1475
|
-
Every tag that is picked up after the initial/first tag is to be
|
1476
|
-
considered as an update of the previous one. E.g. if there is a
|
1477
|
-
"TIT2" frame in the first received tag and one in the second tag,
|
1478
|
-
then the first should be 'replaced' with the second.
|
1479
|
-
|
1480
|
-
The 'Buffer size' should be kept to a minimum. There may only be one
|
1481
|
-
"RBUF" frame in each tag.
|

|

4.20. Audio encryption
|
1490
|
-
|
1491
|
-
This frame indicates if the actual audio stream is encrypted, and by
|
1492
|
-
whom. Since standardisation of such encrypion scheme is beyond this
|
1493
|
-
document, all "AENC" frames begin with a terminated string with a
|
1494
|
-
URL containing an email address, or a link to a location where an
|
1495
|
-
email address can be found, that belongs to the organisation
|
1496
|
-
responsible for this specific encrypted audio file. Questions
|
1497
|
-
regarding the encrypted audio should be sent to the email address
|
1498
|
-
specified. If a $00 is found directly after the 'Frame size' and the
|
1499
|
-
audiofile indeed is encrypted, the whole file may be considered
|
1500
|
-
useless.
|
1501
|
-
|
1502
|
-
After the 'Owner identifier', a pointer to an unencrypted part of the
|
1503
|
-
audio can be specified. The 'Preview start' and 'Preview length' is
|
1504
|
-
described in frames. If no part is unencrypted, these fields should
|
1505
|
-
be left zeroed. After the 'preview length' field follows optionally a
|
1506
|
-
datablock required for decryption of the audio. There may be more
|
1507
|
-
than one "AENC" frames in a tag, but only one with the same 'Owner
|
1508
|
-
identifier'.

4.21. Linked information
|
1518
|
-
|
1519
|
-
To keep space waste as low as possible this frame may be used to link
|
1520
|
-
information from another ID3v2 tag that might reside in another audio
|
1521
|
-
file or alone in a binary file. It is recommended that this method is
|
1522
|
-
only used when the files are stored on a CD-ROM or other
|
1523
|
-
circumstances when the risk of file seperation is low. The frame
|
1524
|
-
contains a frame identifier, which is the frame that should be linked
|
1525
|
-
into this tag, a URL [URL] field, where a reference to the file where
|
1526
|
-
the frame is given, and additional ID data, if needed. Data should be
|
1527
|
-
retrieved from the first tag found in the file to which this link
|
1528
|
-
points. There may be more than one "LINK" frame in a tag, but only
|
1529
|

part of the tag and has the same restrictions as if it was a physical
|
1531
|
-
part of the tag (i.e. only one "RVRB" frame allowed, whether it's
|
1532
|
-
linked or not).

4.22. Position synchronisation frame
|
1552
|
-
|
1553
|
-
This frame delivers information to the listener of how far into the
|
1554
|
-
audio stream he picked up; in effect, it states the time offset of
|
1555
|
-
the first frame in the stream. The frame layout is:
|
1556
|
-
|
1557
|
-
<Head for 'Position synchronisation', ID: "POSS">
|

|
1559
|
-

|
1560
|
-

|
1565
|
-
|
1566
|

and position is where in the audio the listener starts to receive,
|
1567
|
-
i.e. the beginning of the next frame. If this frame is used in the
|
1568
|
-
beginning of a file the value is always 0. There may only be one
|
1569
|
-
"POSS" frame in each tag.

4.23. Terms of use frame
|
1573
|
-
|
1574
|
-
This frame contains a brief description of the terms of use and
|
1575
|
-
ownership of the file. More detailed information concerning the legal
|
1576
|
-
terms might be available through the "WCOP" frame. Newlines are
|
1577
|
-
allowed in the text. There may only be one "USER" frame in a tag.

4.24. Ownership frame
|
1586
|
-
|
1587
|
-
The ownership frame might be used as a reminder of a made transaction
|
1588
|
-
or, if signed, as proof. Note that the "USER" and "TOWN" frames are
|
1589
|
-
good to use in conjunction with this one. The frame begins, after the
|
1590
|
-
frame ID, size and encoding fields, with a 'price payed' field. The
|
1591
|
-
first three characters of this field contains the currency used for
|
1592
|
-
the transaction, encoded according to ISO 4217 [ISO-4217] alphabetic
|
1593
|
-
currency code. Concatenated to this is the actual price payed, as a
|
1594
|
-
numerical string using "." as the decimal separator. Next is an 8
|
1595
|
-
character date string (YYYYMMDD) followed by a string with the name
|
1596
|
-
of the seller as the last field in the frame. There may only be one
|
1597
|
-
"OWNE" frame in a tag.

4.25. Commercial frame
|
1607
|
-
|
1608
|
-
This frame enables several competing offers in the same tag by
|
1609
|
-
bundling all needed information. That makes this frame rather complex
|
1610
|
-
but it's an easier solution than if one tries to achieve the same
|
1611
|
-
result with several frames. The frame begins, after the frame ID,
|
1612
|
-
size and encoding fields, with a price string field. A price is
|
1613
|
-
constructed by one three character currency code, encoded according
|
1614
|
-
to ISO 4217 [ISO-4217] alphabetic currency code, followed by a
|
1615
|
-
numerical value where "." is used as decimal seperator. In the price
|
1616
|
-
string several prices may be concatenated, seperated by a "/"
|
1617
|
-
character, but there may only be one currency of each type.
|
1618
|
-
|
1619
|
-
The price string is followed by an 8 character date string in the
|
1620
|
-
format YYYYMMDD, describing for how long the price is valid. After
|
1621
|
-
that is a contact URL, with which the user can contact the seller,
|
1622
|
-
followed by a one byte 'received as' field. It describes how the
|
1623
|
-
audio is delivered when bought according to the following list:
|
1624
|
-
|
1625
|
-
$00 Other
|
1626
|
-
$01 Standard CD album with other songs

|
1634
|
-
|
1635
|
-
Next follows a terminated string with the name of the seller followed
|
1636
|
-
by a terminated string with a short description of the product. The
|
1637
|
-
last thing is the ability to include a company logotype. The first of
|
1638
|
-
them is the 'Picture MIME type' field containing information about
|
1639
|
-
which picture format is used. In the event that the MIME media type
|
1640
|
-
name is omitted, "image/" will be implied. Currently only "image/png"
|
1641
|
-
and "image/jpeg" are allowed. This format string is followed by the
|
1642
|
-
binary picture data. This two last fields may be omitted if no
|
1643
|
-
picture is to attach.

4.26. Encryption method registration
|
1658
|
-
|
1659
|
-
To identify with which method a frame has been encrypted the
|
1660
|
-
encryption method must be registered in the tag with this frame. The
|
1661
|
-
'Owner identifier' is a null-terminated string with a URL [URL]
|
1662
|
-
containing an email address, or a link to a location where an email
|
1663
|
-
address can be found, that belongs to the organisation responsible
|
1664
|
-
for this specific encryption method. Questions regarding the
|
1665
|
-
encryption method should be sent to the indicated email address. The
|
1666
|
-
'Method symbol' contains a value that is associated with this method
|
1667
|
-
throughout the whole tag. Values below $80 are reserved. The 'Method
|
1668
|
-
symbol' may optionally be followed by encryption specific data. There
|
1669
|
-
may be several "ENCR" frames in a tag but only one containing the
|
1670
|
-
same symbol and only one containing the same owner identifier. The
|
1671
|
-
method must be used somewhere in the tag. See section 3.3.1, flag j
|
1672
|
-
for more information.

4.27. Group identification registration
|
1681
|
-
|
1682
|
-
This frame enables grouping of otherwise unrelated frames. This can
|
1683
|
-
be used when some frames are to be signed. To identify which frames
|
1684
|
-
belongs to a set of frames a group identifier must be registered in
|
1685
|
-
the tag with this frame. The 'Owner identifier' is a null-terminated
|
1686
|
-
string with a URL [URL] containing an email address, or a link to a
|
1687
|
-
location where an email address can be found, that belongs to the
|
1688
|
-
organisation responsible for this grouping. Questions regarding the
|
1689
|
-
grouping should be sent to the indicated email address. The 'Group
|
1690
|
-
symbol' contains a value that associates the frame with this group
|
1691
|
-
throughout the whole tag. Values below $80 are reserved. The 'Group
|
1692
|
-
symbol' may optionally be followed by some group specific data, e.g.
|
1693
|
-
a digital signature. There may be several "GRID" frames in a tag but
|
1694
|
-
only one containing the same symbol and only one containing the same
|
1695
|
-
owner identifier. The group symbol must be used somewhere in the tag.
|
1696
|
-
See section 3.3.1, flag j for more information.

4.28. Private frame
|
1705
|
-
|
1706
|
-
This frame is used to contain information from a software producer
|
1707
|
-
that its program uses and does not fit into the other frames. The
|
1708
|
-
frame consists of an 'Owner identifier' string and the binary data.
|
1709
|
-
The 'Owner identifier' is a null-terminated string with a URL [URL]
|
1710
|
-
containing an email address, or a link to a location where an email
|
1711
|
-
address can be found, that belongs to the organisation responsible
|
1712
|
-
for the frame. Questions regarding the frame should be sent to the
|
1713
|
-
indicated email address. The tag may contain more than one "PRIV"
|
1714
|
-
frame but only with different contents. It is recommended to keep the
|
1715
|
-
number of "PRIV" frames as low as possible.

5. The 'unsynchronisation scheme'
|
1723
|
-
|
1724
|
-
The only purpose of the 'unsynchronisation scheme' is to make the
|
1725
|
-
ID3v2 tag as compatible as possible with existing software. There is
|
1726
|
-
no use in 'unsynchronising' tags if the file is only to be processed
|
1727
|
-
by new software. Unsynchronisation may only be made with MPEG 2 layer
|
1728
|
-
I, II and III and MPEG 2.5 files.
|
1729
|
-
|
1730
|
-
Whenever a false synchronisation is found within the tag, one zeroed
|
1731
|
-
byte is inserted after the first false synchronisation byte. The
|
1732
|
-
format of a correct sync that should be altered by ID3 encoders is as
|
1733
|
-
follows:
|
1734
|
-
|
1735
|
-
%11111111 111xxxxx
|
1736
|
-
|
1737
|
-
And should be replaced with:
|
1738
|
-
|
1739
|
-
%11111111 00000000 111xxxxx
|
1740
|
-
|
1741
|
-
This has the side effect that all $FF 00 combinations have to be
|
1742
|
-
altered, so they won't be affected by the decoding process. Therefore
|
1743
|
-
all the $FF 00 combinations have to be replaced with the $FF 00 00
|
1744
|
-
combination during the unsynchronisation.
|
1745
|
-
|
1746
|
-
To indicate usage of the unsynchronisation, the first bit in 'ID3
|
1747
|
-
flags' should be set. This bit should only be set if the tag
|
1748
|
-
contains a, now corrected, false synchronisation. The bit should
|
1749
|
-
only be clear if the tag does not contain any false synchronisations.
|
1750
|
-
|
1751
|
-
Do bear in mind, that if a compression scheme is used by the encoder,
|
1752
|
-
the unsynchronisation scheme should be applied *afterwards*. When
|
1753
|
-
decoding a compressed, 'unsynchronised' file, the 'unsynchronisation
|
1754
|
-
scheme' should be parsed first, decompression afterwards.
|
1755
|
-
|
1756
|
-
If the last byte in the tag is $FF, and there is a need to eliminate
|
1757
|
-
false synchronisations in the tag, at least one byte of padding
|
1758
|
-
should be added.
