Does it work for ID3v2 headers as well?

Also, out of curiosity, why does file require an ID3 header to determine
information which is not stored in the ID3 header?

I don't have a 3.7 box handy to check this on, so if it works in 3.7,
ignore this output:

% uname -a
OpenBSD host2 3.4 GENERIC#18 i386
% file foo.mp3
foo.mp3: data

% uname -a
FreeBSD host1 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 21 21:39:07 PST 2005
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HOST1  i386
% file foo.mp3
foo.mp3: MP3 file with ID3 version 2.2.0 tag
