Hello,

I have released my program using TagLib : http://ktd.club.fr/ 
programmation/mozodojo_en.php
Thanks to your answers, I think I made it right regarding LGPL.  
However, if you still notice that I missed some points to respect the  
LGPL, do not hesitate to tell me, and I will fix it as soon as possible.

Regards,

Pierre Chatelier
