MP3 and ID3 library/module recommendations

[paul petrick]

Wondering what experiences people have had using various packages for extracting data from and manipulating mp3 files. Specifically, i need to get a song duration, which as i understand it, you extract from the framesets, as well as the typical id3 stuff like artist, album, song, year, etc. Ideally, i'd also like something that converts audio files to mp3 format.

Looking on the the python package index, I see the following:
- eyeD3
- PyMedia
- hachoir-metadata
- libtagedit
- mutagen

Any others to consider?
What are peoples comments on these?

thanks all,
p.
