- <H1>ID3 tags</H1>
- <p> </p>
- <p>LAME is able to embed ID3 v1, v1.1 or v2 tags inside the encoded MP3 file.
- This allows to have some usefull information about the music track included
- inside the file. Those data can be read by most MP3 players.<br>
- <br>
- Lame will smartly choose wich tags to use. It will add ID3 v2 tags only if the
- input comments won't fint in v1 or v1.1 tags, ie if they are more than 30 characters.
- In this case, both v1 and v2 tags will be added, to ensure reading of tags by
- MP3 players wich are unable to read ID3 v2 tags.</p>
