>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.
