Hi to all,

Did you know there are TagLib Classes written for PHP as well these
day's. So we can move on with only one meta-lib in Campcaster.

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/503.html

Does this have what we need? How difficult is it to integrate it in the
PHP part's? How much time do we need to spend on it? Is it worth the
time spending. And last but not least, who is willing for volunteering?


Thanks,

Frans van Berckel
