--- Comment #11 from Urs Fleisch <uflei...@users.sourceforge.net> ---
Kid3 gives you full control over all the frames in a tag, therefore they are
edited in exactly the structure how they are represented in the file. In MP4
files, the chapter information is in its own structure separated from the
metadata atoms, so it makes sense to edit this in a single place. For MP3
files, this would be probably easier, however, it is not possible, because the
TOC and Chapter frames are not so simple. They can contain embedded frames,
typically the TOC frame contains a title frame, and each Chapter frame contains
a title frame, but could also have a Picture and a URL frame embedded, as an
example. So the structure can be arbitrarily complex, and in order to allow
editing such a hierarchical complex structure, the user interface gets more
complex too.
I have never seen an MP3 audio book where the offset fields are used, therefore
they are set to the inactive value FFFFFFFF. This may seem strange, but since
Kid3 allows editing of all fields inside the frames, they have to be shown too.
So from the discussion I would conclude that the converted chapter information
is not garbled, but comes in a different, more complex format given by that
unofficial addition to the ID3v2 standard. It can be correctly edited using
Kid3, so I would not call this a bug.
