I do have to agree with Isaac on this one.

I've read many posts that iTunes /can/ read ID3v2.4 tags too..... lemme 
find it:

http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/taglib-devel/2005-January/000057.html
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/taglib-devel/2005-January/000059.html
and especially (iTunes related):
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/taglib-devel/2005-January/000061.html

These are all on the same thread so you can jsut follow it from the 
first link if you like.

If there is suitible unrest however, I will undertake to write a simple 
ID3v2.3 tagger specifically for Myth. It is relativly trivial to write 
(I've read the specs till blue in the face), so should not pose any 
great challenge to me.

Col.
