If he is using TagLib compiled in one of the debug modes (where NDEBUG isn't 
defined), couldn't he redirect std::cerr to "catch" at least some of the debug 
information?  That's assuming all he wants is to have that saved to a file or 
something like that.  Or he could redefine debug & debugData in tdebug.h and 
write his own versions of those functions?  (I know, a messy solution if it 
would work at all.)

On a related note, should the debugData function be using std::cout or std::cerr?
