Hi,
I did a bit more exploring on tagging and think I am able to figure out the
objectives of this project.
When I changed metadata of an mp3 file in mixxx, it is not updating the
metadata in the mp3 file, but only writing to / .mixxx/mixxxdb.sqlite. I
tried the same with vlc media player, there it is updating the original
mp3(ID3 tags). Trust I got the main objective right. Am also thinking of
GUI to include an option for the DJ to choose whether to update the
original track or not.
I had a look at the code and think src/library/DAO/trackdao.cpp -
TrackDAO::updateTrack() - is where it is updating the sqlite. Trying to
figure out how to write tags/metadata back to the track using TagLib.
Trust I am on the right lines. Appreciate your advice.
I would write my proposal on the above lines.
Cheers
