I'm using JMF2.1.1e which you can download from: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf

If you're unfamiliar with the JMF API have a look at the bbc.rd.id3.tool.JMFPanel class in ID3v2ChapterTool.

In theory, you should use the same frames to describe chapters that you use for files which don't have chapters. Personally, I would use COMM for a synopsis but I've also seen a frame called TDES used which isn't in the ID3v2 spec.
