write new id3v2-tags in mp3-headers (actionscript-3)

Question

Hello is it possible to write new id3v2 tags to a mp3-file through actionscript? Normally you can read/write tags like artist,album,genre... But I would like to add for example the tag "atmosphere = smooth".

Thanks

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is no working library to write/edit ID3 tags in ActionScript, or at least I wouldn't know of one. But you can access and edit the file as ByteArray. Check the ID3v2.3 specification to find out which bytes to read and write.

There is a c/c++ project called id3lib on sourceforge. Should you consider porting this to ActionScript using Alchemy, I would be very much interested in the resulting product ;)
