We just had a case where files were downloaded from a public mediatec which had exactly that problem.  
Foobar could cope with those files and corrected the tag to V2.3 - because the problem occurs in V2.4 tags.  
Then MP3tag got V3.28a and now can do the same.

> Hi! at this URL [https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/fruechte-des-zorns-john-steinbecks-roman-als-hoerspiel-serie/fruechte-des-zorns-1-12/ard/13891599/](https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/fruechte-des-zorns-john-steinbecks-roman-als-hoerspiel-serie/fruechte-des-zorns-1-12/ard/13891599/) there is a download for an MP3. (Click the three dots then select "Herunterladen"). Mp3Tag does not recognize the tags that are in the file (as can be seen with a hex editor). Is the Mp3 broken or is Mp3Tag not interpreting the file correctly? All the best, rh005
