[ANN] id3libv1.0.0

[Mark Smith]

My guess is exactly that they're trying it on. The list of patents  
they have on their page doesn't seem to cover anything to do with  
meta-data - it's all to do with audio compression and so-on. ID3 is  
actually nothing at all to do with MP3, was developed independently  
of MP3, and anyway, if they come after me I'll just throw a spare 1.5  
billion dollars at them. :)
