I've been experimenting with several MP3 CD players, and I found that the
Sony did not like files created with the latest versions of LAME (3.91,
3.92) unless ID3 v2 tags were created. This struck me as odd because the
Sony does not use v2 tags and only reads the 1.1 tags.

That's pretty strong. How about "I would not" or "You should not".
If that's too much typing an IMHO would suffice.

If you put it in your computer and played/ripped it, I can't imagine how
it could be anything other than a Red book, CDDA disk. That IS the global
standard AFAIK.

I recall something about it leaving room for a VBR header, even if the
encoding is not VBR. This was discussed here some time back when I was
trying to figure out why my Sony MP3 boombox was choking on files created
with LAME.

If, as you suggest, Sony needed a "quick fix" by an engineer who didn't

Sorry for the late reply (and somewhat off-topic post).
I'm curious why you feel it necessary to punctuate your warning with no
less than three exclamation points.
Downsampling to 32/22 Mono works very well for audiobooks and if the
source is clean, they will sound very good without all the was
So I take it you are doing this for a hardware player? If so, just get
one with a big HDD and load it up with .WAV files. I think there is at
least one or two players out there that can play FLAC as well.
