== ID3v2 version ==

The ID3v2 standard, as used for MP3 files, is an example of a ambigous, misunderstood and misimplemented standard. Every MP3 player maker, either in hardware or software, implements a different state of this standard to his own understanding. To ensure compatibility with your player, you can select the ID3v2 standard version for your files. Version 2.4 is the current standard version, but its support in players is currently lacking. If your player doesn't show the tags with version 2.4, try using version 2.3. In an extreme case, you could try including ID3v1 tags which are obsolete and don't work with non-latin scripts properly.

== ID3v2 text encoding ==

If you don't know what this is about, use the default. For the ID3v2 standard, you can choose the internal encoding for the tags. Up to version 2.3, only ISO-8859-1 (also known as Latin-1) and UTF-16 has been available. UTF-8 support has been introduced with version 2.4 and is thus unavailable with 2.3. Normally, you should go with either UTF-8 or UTF-16, depending on your ID3v2 version. Use ISO-8859-1 only if you face compatibility issues with your player.
