I'm using the latest MP3 Tag Studio, which is aware of both versions.

Right. Read my other replies. I had exactly one file which gave me this grief.

Open the file with a binary editor such as UltraEdit and find/delete/zero-out the offending data. Odds are, it's right before the ID3V1 tag at the end of the file.

Keep a copy of the "bad" version of the file and send it to Empeg support so they can see the format and make sure that Emplode doesn't read the spurious data.
