It appears that you need to do as follows: Extract the tar.gz to a temporary directory. rename 'eyeD3-6.13\src\eyeD3\__init__.py.in' to 'eyeD3-6.13\src\eyeD3\__init__.py' run 'python setup.py.in install' from the eyeD3-6.13 directory. (It appears you may have extracted the files into the site-packages directory; if so, move them somewhere else before running the commands.) I have just done this and from eyeD3.tag import * completes successfully. There is some reference to a C library in the build files, but no importing of it in the source code, so this might just make it appear to install but not actually work, I don't know. The steps I outlined only install the library, the eyeD3 utility is not installed. If you want to use it, you need to drop it somewhere in your path and give windows some way to find it, by wrapping it in a batch file or renaming it to eyeD3.py and making .py files executable or whatever. You might also give mutagen a look, I settled on it last time I went looking for an id3 library: http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/wiki/Development/Mutagen (I was not using if for writing though) max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
