I can try that once I finally get the new bitstream-based tagging APIs
done, but it probably won't happen until I return from vacation in
Alaska (about mid-August). Feel free if that's not soon enough.
BTW, copying the ID3 tags is actually much easier than reading the
individual fields and writing out new tags. At least it's a much easier
strategy for version 2 tags.
One of the reasons the new tagging code I wrote is so small, especially
compared to other version 2 tagging tools, is that it only WRITES
version 2 tags. Reading them is a real pain because the ID3v2 format is
so ... (ahem) ... flexible. And that's why copying tags is such a neat
strategy. :-)
