   1 \subsection{VBRfix}
   2 This function scans a VBR (Variable Bitrate)
   3 MP3 file and updates/creates the Xing VBR header. The Xing header
   4 contains information about the VBR stream used to calculate average bit
   5 rate, time information and to more accurately fwd/rew in the stream.
   6 This function is especially useful when the playback of a file skips,
   7 fwd/rew does not work correctly or the time display is incorrect.
   8 To use this plugin, open the \setting{Context Menu} (see \reference{ref:Contextmenu})
   9 upon a \fname{.mp3} file and select \setting{Open With... $\rightarrow$ vbrfix}.

  11 \note{VBRfix can only run when music is
  12   turned off (since it uses the same memory as the player) and can take a
  13   while to complete if run on big files.}
