Ah, thanks for the reply! I was a bit afraid of no interest ;-)

Nothing external; I took the isomediafile standard and implemented the boxes I 
needed. For the itunes tags I did some reverse engineering.

The whole code comes out of my hands, therefore I got the rights on it - no 
worries ;-)

How should I deliver it? Right now I got a pathed version of taglib in my home

you won't need to patch it.

BTW, I needed to add ulonglong to the types, I hope this is Ok, is it?
