My tester tells me that:

- TagLib can find and update wav tags created by Serato
- Serato does not recognize tags that were initially written by TagLib

Therefore I think it would make sense to have TagLib write out a 'id3 ' chunk by \
default, instead of 'ID3 ' (if there is no collision with other third party \
software).

Traktor seems to only write metadata in the LIST/INFO chunk. At this moment I've \
sublcassed TagLib::RIFF::WAV::File to access this data, and I've written a small \
routine to (crudely) parse name / artist / comment information from it.

Is there code elsewhere in TagLib that I could use for parsing (and updating…) the \
LIST/INFO chunk data?

Thanks,
patrick
