    Saving metadata to MP3 ID3 Tags?

    Hi.

    I can read ID3 tag info from MP3 files with the Metadata namespace and I can update the Metadata - but is it possible to updated/edit the MP3 file ID3 tags? (to make the new Metadata available to my users when they download the file)

    An idea came to me when you brought this up.  You could use partial file update to update the ID3 portion of the file directly which will cause processing to get the metadata again for the file as well as update the remote file.  You would need the file locally to do this so you can update the ID3 and do the Md5 and then get the differenced portion of the file.  This way you would only need to reupload that portion of the file.

    I'm interested to see if this will work because it would be a slick way of using partial file update.

    That might be a solution, but I would love if I didn't have to download it. Shouldn't be that big a deal to make it a part of the Audio namespace - your transcoding software properly already supports it. Make that a feature request :)

    Thanks
