I had one of those little screams yesterday when I started using the PHP's id3 lib when I realized it's crap because it can't delete or write version 2 tags. Fortunately I found a nice user comment pointing me to the PHP implemented getid3 lib. An hour later my mp3 collection (several thousand ripped from my own CD collection of course :) had nice ID3 tags based on the directories and filenames I had created a few years ago. Wasn't an issue when I was using XMMS but I just switched to Amarok and it makes extensive sensible use of ID3 tags :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
