Re: [Easytag-mailing] About MusicBrainz and about development

[Jérôme COUDERC <easytag gmail com>]

Hi,

   If you want to test, Alexey Illarionov wrote a patch to use libid3 
instead of id3lib which works correctly. I need just to integrate it 
because I want to keep also id3lib to be able to write tag also to 
id3v2.3 format.
This wouldn't be ready for the coming version, but probably the next one...

The patch for the Easytag 1.99.12 is there: http://mirror.orionet.ru/shmool/easytag-1.99.12-libid3tag.patch.gz


Regards,
Jerome

• Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 01:28:23 +0400

Hi, all

   Easytag uses id3lib library which does not develop for a long time. This
library works only with id3v2.3 tags and besides contains many bugs. As many
modern programs use id3 v2.4 tags, I have decided to try to rewrite tag 
processing in Easytag using lid3tag (http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/). 
   I have chosen this library as it is written completly on C, it is small, fast, 
supports all versions of id3 tags, and have very good interface.
   I have tried to keep all available functionality of Easytag. But now it is reads
all v1 and v2 tags of any version. Another major differences is that Easytag 
with libid3tag writes id3v2.4 tags instead of id3v2.3. Also it is possible to use 
UTF-8 unicode for writing, and to use crc32 and compression in tags.
   I know, that the author had plans on use of taglib library. But I do not know 
as this idea is realized.  In any case I proposed the given patch as an 
alternative to taglib.
   The patch for the Easytag 1.99.12 is there: http://mirror.orionet.ru/shmool/easytag-1.99.12-libid3tag.patch.gz

PS: You should execute autoheader && aclocal && autoconf && automake 
after patching.
