      <title>ID3v2.4 Footer</title>
      <link />
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Posted a 'new message on the MP3 programming forum.&lt;/p&gt;Hello&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm actually developping a class system to read/write into MP3's ID3v2.4 tags. I've found this description about footers on the site www.id3.org:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.4.   ID3v2.4 footer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To speed up the process of locating an ID3v2.4 tag when searching from the end of a file, a footer can be added to the tag. It is REQUIRED to add a footer to an appended tag, i.e. a tag located after all audio data. The footer is a copy of the header, but with a different identifier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     ID3v2 identifier           "3DI"&lt;br /&gt;
     ID3v2 version              $04 00&lt;br /&gt;
     ID3v2 flags                %abcd0000&lt;br /&gt;
     ID3v2 size             4 * %0xxxxxxx&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ID3v2.4 footer is marked as optional, but here it's seems that into some cases, this footer is required. So, this description is not easy to understand. My questions are :&lt;br /&gt;
- Is ID3v2.4 footers are optional or required ?&lt;br /&gt;
- If optionals, in whitch cases there are required ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thx, regards...&lt;br /&gt;</description>
