The "lost sync" message means that the mp3 decoder has detected
something in the stream, which can't be decoded.
This can be a ID3 tag but some other garbage too.
The next message "skipping over ID3 tag" means that a ID3 tag was
recognised.

The messages are not related to the image processing in any way.

You don't have to worry about these messages unless you get tons
of header/decode errors after a lost sync.
