Newbie question, can I build static with VC++ Express Edition

[Jeremy Gregorio]

Hi,

I just wanted to let everyone know I worked around my static compiling
issues :). My Firefox plug-in, youtubeMP3Podcaster, will TagLib to tag the
MP3s. I was able to get the tag.dll to load after I switched to using SVN
sources, which will build under Visual Studio Express Edition 2010. From
there I can call the library as needed.

P.S.

I'm still working out getting unicode to work, so I don't yet have tagging
support on the web site, but if anyone wants to check it out my plugin's
here:

Thanks again for everyone's help :)!
