[ID3 Dev] Differences between 2.3 and 2.4 a potential pitfall?

[Andrew Laughlin]

The difference between 2.3 and 2.4 are minor, but enough to foil a 2.3
editor encountering a sync-safe integer in a 2.4 frame.  The sure fire way
to see the difference is to open the mp3 in a hex editor before and after
edits, and compare changes.  Alternatively, you could use BulkID3 (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bulkid3/) with the --print-only flag, to
show all tag data in the file.

Regards,
Andrew
