binary view of ID3 tags created using id3v2mux Edit (196.6 KiB, image/png)

Are you asking for a sample mp3 Daniel? That would be a sizable attachment and might raise copyright concerns but I'm happy to if you really need one.

I just did some testing using versions in Ubuntu Edgy Eft (SJ 2.16.1) and I can confirm that ID3 tags in mp3s no longer seem to be corrupt. Attached is a screenshot of a hex editor view of one of the files. I am using the following gstreamer pipeline.

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=4 vbr-quality=0 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux

ID3 tags in the resulting mp3s are v2.4.0 and the only tag editor I've found that can read the tags is Ex Falso (uses its own engine called Mutagen).

I guess at this point the issue falls on tag editors since the tags don't seem to be corrupt anymore. Is there perhaps an alternative pipeline that can specify v2.3 tags?
