IMO they're absolutely stupid Wikipedia is not a specification archive. Towards that end, if anyone is really attached to the ID3v1 specification or complete genre list please speak up now. I want to explain how ID3 differs from other tagging formats, and why the multiple versions are hard to support at the time, in a less technical manner. I'd like to rewrite this page to make it considerably more readable. Rbakels ( talk) 15:00, 18 September 2015 (UTC) Reply Impending cleanup ID3 version 2.4 provides another code for UTF8 entries. Nixdorf 05:17, (UTC) ID3 version 2 has a 'text entry descriptor byte' (TEDB) in text-related frames which allows to indicate whether the text that follows is ASCII (ISO 8859-1) or Unicode. (Technically that's not legal, but who cares.) If you do encode unicode, this will be signalled inside the tag, ID3v2 provides tag "frames" which can be flagged to be of a certain type. However, when using ISO 8859-1, most implementers interpret this liberally, so they take that to mean "the local character set", e.g. ![]() The ID3 specification merely says Unicode should be used. (iTunes does write ID3v2 tags in Unicode though, however.) I'm not sure how ID3v2 can support Unicode. Winamp as well as NOMAD Jukebox on Japanese edition of Windows encodes ID3v2 text in Shift-JIS, so it seems like while the standards blabber on about whatever, actual implementers pretty much ignore it. Lowellian ( talk)] 02:44, (UTC) Hmm, well can't Unicode be used for ID3v1 as well? If a byte order mark was used for ID3v1, there'd be no ambiguity either. It means that you can use characters outside the ASCII character set, such as Cyrillic or Chinese characters, in tags. From ID3v2 section: "ID3v2 supports Unicode so that internationalized tags can be used."
