[ANN] id3lib

[Mark Smith]

I had anticipated this :)

I think it's perfectly doable, but I think I need to understand a bit  
more about some of the ins and outs - flag settings, extended headers  
and so-on, before I attempt it.

The plan (and I can hear the angels laughing) is to get read support  
for as many formats as possible (ID3v2.4 and m4a as priorities)  
first, and then see about writing/updating.

One problem is that Apple have not published specs for their iTunes  
m4a tagging scheme, so all the non-apple m4a tagging stuff out there  
has been reverse engineered (for reading the commonly used frames - 
title,artist,album,tracknumber,year - I've pretty much done it), so  
writing these tags is going to be quite hard, I think.

Anyway, I'm just going to keep plugging away at it, and I'll announce  
any updates as they come...

Best,

Mark
