|

| 17 | <p>LAME is able to embed ID3 v1, v1.1 or v2 tags inside the encoded MP3 file.
|
|---|
| 18 | This allows to have some usefull information about the music track included
|
|---|
| 19 | inside the file. Those data can be read by most MP3 players.<br>
|
|---|
| 20 | <br>
|
|---|
| 21 | Lame will smartly choose wich tags to use. It will add ID3 v2 tags only if the
|
|---|
| 22 | input comments won't fint in v1 or v1.1 tags, ie if they are more than 30 characters.
|
|---|
| 23 | In this case, both v1 and v2 tags will be added, to ensure reading of tags by
|
|---|
| 24 | MP3 players wich are unable to read ID3 v2 tags.</p>
