Despite the ID3V2.3 not containing MP3 as a tag for some reason whenever I play the cd, It has MP3 before the track number on every song.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
It looks like a player problem to me.
You may want to have a look at the player's manual and see whether the player adds the information of the data type.
Also, it would be worthwhile to see wether the player shows tag data at all or just the filename.
To see all the tag information, have a look at the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T) and see if there are fields that contain the extra information.
