public class SynchsafeInteger

extends java.lang.Object

In some parts of the tag it is inconvenient to use the unsychronisation scheme because the size of unsynchronised data is not known in advance, which is particularly problematic with size descriptors. The solution in ID3v2 is to use synchsafe integers, in which there can never be any false synchs. Synchsafe integers are integers that keep its highest bit (bit 7) zeroed, making seven bits out of eight available. Thus a 32 bit synchsafe integer can store 28 bits of information.

  Example:

    255 (%11111111) encoded as a 16 bit synchsafe integer is 383
    (%00000001 01111111).
