+ <dt><b>Powerful</b></dt>
+ <dd>
+
+ id3lib automatically handles most of the low-level details
+ involved with manipulating <a
+ href="http://www.id3.org/id3v1.html">ID3v1</a> and <a
+ href="http://www.id3.org">ID3v2</a> tags in digital audio
+ files. It provides support for several tasks associated with
+ manipulating such tags, such as conversion between tagging
+ formats, identifying valid tags, converting
+ sizes, synchronisation, compression, and padding.
+
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><b>Standards-compliant</b></dt>
+ <dd>
+
+ While many digital audio libraries and applications provide
+ minimal support
+ for basic <a href="http://www.id3.org/id3v1.html">ID3v1</a>
+ tagging, few provide the same level of support for the up-and-coming
+ <a href="http://www.id3.org">ID3v2</a> standard like id3lib.
+ The developers of id3lib work closely with the <a
+ href="http://www.id3.org">ID3v2</a> specification and go to
+ great effort to ensure the library correctly handles all its
+ nuances. By using id3lib for both your <a
+ href="http://www.id3.org/id3v1.html">ID3v1</a> and <a
+ href="http://www.id3.org">ID3v2</a> tagging needs, you can be
+ assured that your application produces tags that comply with
+ the standard now and in the future.
+
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><b>Cross-platform</b></dt>
+ <dd>
+
+ A primary goal for id3lib is cross-platform compatibility. The
+ library is developed primarily on the <a
+ href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU</a>/<a
+ href="http://www.linux.org">Linux</a> operating system but has
+ been compiled and tested on other Unix-like OS's as well as
+ Windows NT.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><b>Multi-language</b></dt>
+ <dd>
+
+ id3lib aspires to provide interfaces for multiple programming
+ languages, and currently fully supports both C and C++. A COM
+ wrapper (id3com) is also supplied allowing VB, VBA, VBScript and
+ other COM-enabled languages to use the library.

+ (and any modifications to it) will remain freely available in

+
+ <br><br>
+
+ Versions of ID3Lib prior to and including version 3.05a were
+ released to the public domain. The last such release is still <a
+ href="http://download.sourceforge.net/id3lib/id3lib305.zip">available
