Ah I see, that could very well be the problem. My first, probably naive, 
attempt was to change ID3V2::Header::render() to put 2.3 as the version 
number, but that didn't work. Is there a way to make TagLib write v2.3 
tags? How do other people cope with this - simply accept that tags 
written with TagLib won't be readable by (most) other media players? 
Should I fall back to an older version of TagLib - if so which one? I 
tried browsing the web-svn but although I can see the files and their 
history, I can't view old versions there. Thanks.


cheers,
