[ID3 Dev] ID3v2.4 support in real world

[Robert Manson]

Also you should consider the iTunes Frame size bug, whereby v2.4 frames
are written with an incorrect non-syncsafe frame size. (Actually I
haven't verified that they are *still* doing this... has anyone tested
with the latest iTunes?)

My opinion is that writing 2.3 tags would be your best bet for
compatibility with other players.

Subject: [ID3 Dev] ID3v2.4 support in real world

Hi *,

I'm doing some refactoring in my code of ID3 renamer and i'm thinking
about 
writing tags in ID3v2.4 (now I'm writing 2.3). But I've tested the
support 
for it and it seems to be, that it's not good. Some SW simply reads it,
but 
writes new tag in front of ID3v2.3 (Windows Shell), some SW don't read
it, 
but writes new tag in front of it (WinAmp 2.x) and WMP also isn't able
to 
read it. I've also tested some SW for writing into clean file, and all 
writes ID3v2.3.

So what's your expirience? Am I stay writing ID3v2.3 'cause v2.4 isn't 
supported at all?
