I am aware that this has been raised before (issue #9 & #26). However, I'd like to raise again whether support for ID3v2.3 could be added to mp3fs.
I very much like the idea of mp3fs to expose a collection of FLAC files via FUSE so they can be transcoded to MP3 on the fly. However, I just got a brand new Subaru Outback (new model came out in Australia in Jan, released in US in mid 2014) and lo and behold it only supports ID3v2.3 (not 2.4).
Whilst I completely agree with Kevin's remark about 2.4 having been around for a long time, the fact seems to be that many devices (I've googled a bit) and also brand new ones like my 2015 Subaru Outback only support ID3v2.3.
Therefore, I think it would be worthwhile to add support for ID3v2.3.
Of course, the ID3 version can be changed through a tagging tool after copying. The whole idea, though, of mp3fs - as I understand it - is to offer a convenient, hassle-free way to transcode music on the fly. Offering native ID3v2.3 support would go a step further in this direction I would like to suggest.
Thank you very much for considering this.
I would be very happy to contribute at least a little by testing this functionality.

Other than that, thanks a lot for a great tool.
