The peril of the MP3 ALT-3 tag

Message Bookmarked

I snagged an MP3 copy of the Revillo's "Motorbike Beat" via slsk and when I checked the ID3 tag someone had written "Fuck the Media, Fuck the Jews!" and a Hitler quote in the comments.

This, er, doesn't sit very well with me. And it ruins a perfectly good twee-punk song too.

(by ALT-3 I mean the ID3 tag; I just think it's the ALT-3 because that's the WinAmp command to call it up)

I found an ID3 tag once in some Autechre song shilling for some guy's mp3.com website. That's pretty lame.

quoting raekwon is not racist

I just think it's cool that Raekwon's talkin' bout ILM yo.

ID3 tags = the run out groove of the 21st century
