Peter recommended this in his foobar2000 forum, I wonder if there could be problems when you add them.

I'd really prefer them over ID3v1/v2.

What do you think?

Any other player would probably add silence if you play mp3s with ape-tags (any player would probably add silence to files with tags it was not made to find and skip).
This is what winamp (and MAD) does etc. and I would believe it to be the case with other players too. Ape-tags are just invalid data to them which is skipped or played as silence.
