:O

I'm still quite pleased to find a way to tag my files easily, quickly and
comprehensively.

Also just noticed that the Rockbox tags are out of spec.

3.3. ID3v2 frame overview

    As the tag consists of a tag header and a tag body with one or more
    frames, all the frames consists of a frame header followed by one or
    more fields containing the actual information. The layout of the
    frame header:

"one or more frames" ...Rockbox ID3V2.3 tags contain zero frames. May I
suggest:

   TENC
    The 'Encoded by' frame contains the name of the person or
    organisation that encoded the audio file.

And insert the Rockbox version string?
