ID3 library wrapper (taglib, id3lib, anything)

[Walter Strom]

There are no ID3 (audio tags, 'artist', 'title' et al editing) projects for
D. There was one called id3, but it was halted 3 years ago at alpha / ID3v1.

And there are mature Taglib & Id3lib, both written C++, but both with C
wrapper options.

I've tried to make a D wrapper around Taglib, but all it outputs for now are
the words "You are a shameful idiot, mister", which I put into the failure
condition without being aware of how much it'd hurt after a hundred runs.

That C wrapper looks easy — 3 same kind struct typedefs, 2 same kind enum
typedefs, and a bunch of simple funcs that only seem to require a type names
replacement and extern (C).

I've tried, but surely not doing it right:

Original C: typedef struct { int foo; } Bar;
I tried:    struct Bar { int foo; }
and also:   struct Wrp { struct { int foo; } } alias Wrp Bar;

Original C: typedef enum { foo, etc } Bar;
I tried:    enum Bar { foo, etc };
and also:   enum { foo, etc } alias int Bar;

In addition to my noobish translations, I might also be using it all wrong,
as I've discovered D a week ago :(.

It would be so amazing if there was someone in the group who wants / finds
potentially useful ID3 editing, but isn't a D virgin. It's a pity Taglib has
simple bindings from C# to Ruby, and the guy who's doing D's is being
insulted by his own code.

If anyone has guts: http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html
The c wrapper: bindings/c/tag_c.h
The example using it: examples/tagreader_c.c

Just to make it clear, it's a mere hope there is someone interested, but
more mature than me, and is not in any way a request-like stuff.

Long live D,
Walt
