Sam, first: good work! This is much needed.

Don't you mean taht it will fail of the updated tags are larger than the 
original?

I found a way to work around it by adding some unused padding zeroes to 
the tag. (This is mentioned in the ID3v2 spec.) As long as the modified 
tag do not exceed the padding buffer, everything works OK.

Will the patch also handle adding tags to files that do not have any tag 
at all?

Will it also handle adding ID3v1 tags if such do not exist?
