Where is id3lib used? I must admit that I only noticed it recently when trying to compile 1.1.1beta ... I had hoped that it would be used in the flac command-line tool to support conversion of AIFF and WAVE ID3 tags to FLAC tags, or something along those lines as an interim measure since unknown chunks are generally lost when compressing AIFF or WAVE.
Is there any way the ID3 library could be used this way? ... or is it more prudent to put time into preserving unknown chunks instead of translating just one type of chunk? Sorry for the off-the-wall questions - I only just noticed that ID3 was around the FLAC project.

FLAC tag a.k.a. Vorbis comment support is very good now so unless someone comes up with a really compelling reason, I'm going to drop it in the next release.
