My daily consumption of surrealism.
I'm currently toying with the ID3 tag specification and some libraries for purely geeky reasons. For those that don't know, ID3 tags are used to put such information as "artist" or "album name" into mp3 and other audio files.
Few people are aware that you can actually put images into your ID3 tags. Fewer even know that you can put more than one image in, and that these images can have one of several pre-defined types. Types such as 0x03 "Cover (front)", 0x04 "Cover (back)" or 0x07 "Lead Artist".
But none of you, my dear readers - and I'd have been willing to bet on that - none of you have been aware that you can, according to the ID3 specification, use the image type qualifier 0x11 to store images of "A brightly coloured fish" in your mp3s.
You probably wouldn't want to, but you could if you did. Comforting, ain't it?
