The libid3tag-based id3mux should die. We need something better.

Action plan:

 - write ID3 v2.3.0 tag writer code that doesn't depend on an
   external library (work in progress)

 - move id3mux into -good using that code base

 - merge with the taglib-based id3v2mux?
Comment 1 Michael Smith 2009-05-20 23:14:45 UTC 
See bug 583383 for another id3 tag muxer that does NOT require any additional
external dependencies, supports id3v1, v2.3, and v2.4 (defaults to v1 and v2.3)
