I've actually patched my get_iplayer to use eyeD3.
(http://eyed3.nicfit.net/) It's a python script, so should be os
agnostic, and also allows tagging of artwork as well as the standard
ID3 tags.  I wasn't happy with the code changes (it hard codes a test
for the 'eyeD3' string into get_iplayer which seems a dreadful hack),
but it worked for me.  I could supply my patches if interested, and
they could be integrated, however, I'm not sure how much work would be
involved in supplying the python libraries etc for a standard eyeD3.
