TagLib Perl binding

PREFACE

Almost ALL the docus are commented by the original C/C++ lib authors Scott Wheeler at http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/ , Allan Sandfeld Jenson at kde@carewolf.org and Ismael Orenstein at orenstein@kde.org.

Of course, I modified some parts slightly :-)

DESCRIPTION

TagLib - a library for reading and editing audio meta data, commonly know as tags.

Some goals of TagLib:

A clean, high level, C++ API to handling audio meta data.
Support for at least ID3v1, ID3v2 and Ogg Vorbis comments.
A generic, simple API for the most common tagging related functions.
Binary compatibility between minor releases using the standard KDE/Qt techniques for C++ binary compatibility.
Make the tagging framework extensible by library users; i.e. it will be possible for libarary users to implement additional ID3v2 frames, without modifying the TagLib source (through the use of Abstract Factories and such.

Because TagLib desires to be toolkit agnostic, in hope of being widely adopted and the most flexible in licensing TagLib provides many of its own toolkit classes; in fact the only external dependancy that TagLib has, it a semi-sane STL implementation.
