Why I wrote that ID3v2.4 has not seen much adoption.

:: What exactly are you looking for? The article claims: 1) ID3v2.4 has not seen much adoption. If you like, I could go download a thousand files from a filesharing service and see what version they are, but I already know the answer: They will be v2.3. 2) The ID3v2 reference implementation, libid3v2, cannot read or write ID3v2.4. [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1500788&group_id=979&atid=100979 Here's a SourceForge bug about it]. The free software programs that do support it use TagLib, Mutagen, or libid3tag; most custom libraries have issues with v2.4. This is far from a majority of programs - maybe a majority of users, now that GStreamer uses TagLib.
:: WMP still does not support v2.4. iTunes only began supporting it recently (mid-2005, I believe, with 5.0), writes ID3v2.2 by default (according to [[iTunes]]), and still has one major bug in synchsafe int handling. [[foobar2000]] only starting writing ID3 tags *at all* in mid-2005. [[User:Joe Wreschnig|piman]] 21:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
