length. The v2 tag can store any number of "frames" which themselves
are variable length. See the standards documents here <A

<DIV><SPAN class=984595615-03012006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have recently
updated my Creative Jukebox from 6GB to 40GB in order to store more MP3's. I
understand that the tags are held in RAM and therefore I wish to keep the tags
as small as possible in order that I may store the maximum number of songs.
Presumably the RAM holds the TAG details plus the disk address where the
song is stored. Can anyone tell me (please) if ID3v2 are variable length
records as opposed to v1 which appear to be fixed length.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

would be appreciated'</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
