Cool :D

One other option if other people find this too annoying:

I can hack the various rendering functions out of libid3tag and include 
them in the libid3tag_hack.c file and write valid 2.3 files for the 
limited frames we currently use. Would potentially block future 
expansion for other frames in the future tho'

I should state tho' that the above is more hastle to maintain, so I 
would personally prefer the 1st option that Isaac is also happy with ;)

(lol - I use Oggs/Flac anyways).

I'll get a patch to you within 24hrs whatever the general consensus.

Col.
