1Due to a bug (fixed in version 0.9701) when multiple edits were done on 2the same file, several K of zero bytes may have been inserted between 3the ID3v2 tag and the body of audio. These bytes were not included in 4the count of bytes of the tag. 5 6To fix files with this unwanted padding, one can do the following: 7 8 a) include the byte count of the padding into the tag size (quick); 9 10 b) Remove the padding (will require rewriting of the file, so may take 11 some time). 12 13To do "a", enable the option 'id3v2_mergepadding' when you update tags. 14 15To do "b" enable the option 'id3v2_shrink' when you update tags. (With 16method 'update_tag', you may want to specify the $force2 option; with mp3info2, 17use -2 option). 18 19Example: 20 21 mp3info2 -C "~id3v2_shrink=1~id3v2_mergepadding=1" -u2 -R . 22
