Hey, Pythoners! Just a quick announcement that I've created a Python
module for easy manipulation of ID3 tags on MP3 files.  These tags
generally involve the title, artist, and other information about the
file. I've mailed webmaster at python.org and submitted it to
Freshmeat, so I hope it can be of use to you all.

The home-page for the ID3.py module is at:

http://csl.cse.ucsc.edu/~ben/python/

A simple example of using the module:

from ID3 import * 

try: 
  id3info = ID3('/some/file/moxy.mp3'); 
  print id3info 
  id3info.title = "Green Eggs and Ham" 
  id3info.artist = "Moxy Fruvous"

except InvalidTagError, message:
  print "Invalid MP3 tag:', message

More documentation is available in the source code to the module.

Enjoy!
