>Description:
I have a number of MP3 files generated with an option named "create
ID3 header tags". These files all appear to start
0x000000 49 44 33 02 00 00 00 00 10 25 54 45 4e 00 00 0c 'ID3......%TEN...'
and are mp3 data. mpg123 is confused by this, but Quicktime and the
MP3 editor I use on my Mac both grok them.
>How-To-Repeat:
Make MP3's. :)
>Fix:
I suspect that 'ID3\02' indicates an MP3 file, but I'd need someone to
check with a standard. Otherwise, we can keep calling them "data",
and no one will be harmed.
