Thanks for the correction.  I think the deb repository had the wrong 
number but I see that Amarok -> about says 1.4.9.1.

Hello Jeff.

Thanks for the pointer to the 2.4.0 frames spec which is an update from 
the 2.4.3 I was using.

Can you elaborate on eyeD3?  I've tried various 4 letter combinations of 
eyeD3 in the id3v2.4 spec without a hit.

I can see how to edit the usual tag fields but how would I deal with eyeD3?


Thanks for your info.
