Players playing mp3s with ID3v2.3 tags, I am assuming that they read the  
ID3v2.3 internal naming and transpose it to the label, such as  
TPE1 = ARTIST and TIT2 = TITLE?

Players playing flac files would read the label definition such as  
Artist = Rolling Stones with out any reference any internal naming like TPE1 = ARTIST?  
But will they be unable to read any non standard labels like  
Label = Mudpie, value and field = %contentgroup%.  
Would they be able to read it as CONTENTGROUP and its value?  
or it not at all and if so would the song fail to play?

depends on player. Generally the answer to above is yes for me (using foobar2000 and LMS for Squeezebox players)
