Doug,

I am not looking for extra functions into LiveSupport.

This Software is be a GTK+ client for lib-id3v2 and use the same lib as
we are.

I am not so into lib-id3v2, but from my point of view if we can use this
client, it will save a lot of GTK+ programming. Let's Akos check it out.

Thanks,

Frans van Berckel
