ID3v2 Library

ID3v1 and ID3v2 reader-writer taging library (.dll) for use in Win32 (9x/ME/2K/XP/Vista) software.
Requirements: any dev. environment that supports the stdcall calling convention (some ID3v2 functions require Delphi).

Note: Old ID3v2.2 Tags are not supported!

New in version 1.1.2: unicode file name and tag support, through a unicode wrapper .dll.
Usage 
Uses ID3v2LibraryDefs;
ID3v2Tag := ID3v2_Create;
ID3v2_Load(ID3v2Tag, FileName);
//* Do whatever you want here...
ID3v2_Save(ID3v2Tag, FileName);
ID3v2_Free(ID3v2Tag);
