Ah, a union. I somehow had the idea that the relationship was a virtual inheritance.

So, the corrected code block now reads:

*** snip snip ***
TagLib::MPEG::File *file=new TabLib::MPEG::File(“my_file.mp3”,false);
TagLib::ID3v2::Tag *tag=file->ID3v2Tag();

TagLib::ID3v2::UserTextIdentificationFrame *frame=new TagLib::ID3v2::UserTextIdentificationFrame(TagLib::String::UTF8);
frame->setDescription(“foo”);
frame->setText(“some structured text”);
tag->addFrame(frame);
*** snip snip ***

Thank you.

Cheers!
