XID3 byte 24 bit 7 means absolutely nothing.  It is reserved and unused.
According to the developer, CM/2 is setting this bit by mistake.
This will be fixed in the next release, and in the next CSD.
The fix will be to reset this reserved bit to 0.

Now is probably a good time to thank all the well-behaved
implementations that ignore reserved bits as they are supposed to.
