How do I add the “contains: …†data to an mp3 file?

I am trying to get gmediaserver (v0.13.0-8) to serve all of my mp3s. Right now it sees only a portion of them. I noticed that the "file" command produces different results for the working files than the non-working ones.
On a working file I get the following result:
$ file 01 - 2112.mp3
01 - 2112.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3.0, contains: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz, JntStereo
on a non-working file I get the following result:
$ file 01 - Prowler.mp3
01 - Prowler.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3.0
I loaded the non-working file into audacity and exported it into a test folder, and gmediaserver was able to properly identify it. When I run "file" on the exported file I get the following result:
$ file 01 - Prowler.mp3
01 - Prowler.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.4.0, extended header, contains: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 320 kbps, 44.1 kHz, JntStereo
Does anyone know what the "contains:..." portion of the data is called and if there is a magic command I can use to add this to an mp3 file?
Is this a red herring. Could it possibly be an issue with the metadata container? If so, how do I display the metadata container version used by the file?
Does the string "extended header" have anything to do with it?
If I can find a magic command to add the right data to the file, I could write a script to do it to all of the ones that are not working. If anyone would like a copy of a non-working file, feel free to PM me and I'll get it to you for testing purposes.

I'm not sure. I copied them from a friends music library, so they may have been torrented. Who knows. Thank you! I have been referencing this forum for a long time, but never had to actually ask a question until now. This is a great forum with lots of helpful and smart people.

I've searched my music library with this pipeline:find . -name "*.mp3" -exec file ; | grep -v "contains". I had to stop it cause it found hundreds of songs, including some I bought online, some I ripped myself, some I edited in Audacity years ago, some with ID3 2.3.0, some with ID3 2.4.0. I can't seem to find any pattern in them. I haven't tried installing gmediaserver, but I made sure they play in Clementine.

I decided to not use gmediaserver. I found mediatomb and I haven't had any issues with it so far. All my music was found no problem.
