ID3TagEd upgrades

[Chris Johnson]

Although there have been no announcements for some time, ID3TagEd is
still being developed.

ID3TagEd is an application to allow the creation and/or editing of
the ID3 tags attached to audio mp3 files. The ID3 tags contain a wide
range of information about the audio file (e.g. Artist, title, album,
year, content, and much more). Both version 1 and version 2 ID3 tags
can be viewed and edited. Full HTML help is included in the
application.

A new Beta version is now available. Here is a short listing of
changes:

* The application is BeagleBoard compatible

* A major rewrite of event handling code

* Handling of tags with text frames in unicode format greatly improved
- ID3TagEd now uses the iconv module for all unicode decoding. If
you are using NetSurf, then you will have the iconv module
installed. If not, the latest version (as of 8th February 2012) can
be downloaded from http://www.netsurf-browser.org/projects/iconv/
Note: ID3TagEd does not currently write edited frames in unicode
format, but that could be added if there were any demand

* Improved handling of patterns for renaming, filling tags from full
filename, etc.

* Now deals correctly with multiple images in the v2 tag

* Images can be added to a tag

* Dealing with multiple COMM frames improved

* New editing options - strip n chars from start/end of text frame

* Some non-standard frames now recognised

* Multiple COMM frames can be added

The new version of ID3TagEd can be downloaded from

Further upgrades are likely to be released on a regular basis, so keep
an eye on the download site.
