You can open a file read only, but TagLib only does this right now if opening 
it in read/write mode fails.  So you need to make the file itself read only to 
do this (which isn't a bad idea anyways if you're not going to tag it any 
further I guess).


Adding a readOnly flag to TagLib::File() probably wouldn't be too hard though, 
everything is in taglib/toolkit/tfile.cpp
