If you have 0.3.6, this release uses taglib. If you switch to latest svn, then
the program will use taglib, which may be better, or at least it would be
good to know :)

You have a function rewrite_metadata with 0.3.6 (latest stable).
With latest svn, you have also a map_metadata (more abstract).
Metadata available are more than file's metadata, and, yes, it includes the
file's name.
To find out what medatada are available, just start a telnet server, connect
to it, and check metadata <URI> where <URI> is the id of a song processed
(find one with on_air for instance..)

Well, the real issue here is that i3tags are strongly *broken*. I think the
version is not really relevant, the real issue being encoding and unicity of
the tags.
If you use the same encoding everywhere, and are sure that you ahve exactly
one tag per file, then it's alright. Also, you could pass tags to liquidsoap,
using the annotate protocol (see radiopi description in the users section on
the wiki). That way, you'll force the tag.
