lossless mp3 - mp3HD

Useless format:The lossless part is stored in ID3v2 tags. Size of ID3v2 tags is limited to 256MB by specifications; as a result, lossless part of an mp3hd file can't be larger than 256MB. I wonder what those people will think of next. Maybe resurrect VQF or something. I agree. As a test, I tried to encode a 500 MB wav file:C:\Test\mp3hd>mp3hdencoder -br 192000 -if t.wav -of t.mp3 ****************************************************************************** * * * mp3HD Commandline Encoder V1.4.0 * * (Evaluation Version) * * * * Revision 1007 * * Build Jan 30 2009 * * * * © 2007 - 2009 Thomson S.A. * * © 1996 - 2009 Fraunhofer IIS * * All rights reserved. * * * * This software and/or program is protected by copyright law and * * international treaties.

I suppose they really don't care about gapless (lossy) MP3 playback. Though, in any case FhG's implementation is not widely supported. I wonder if the lossless plugin can play gaplessly. (I have not tested it yet.)
