> ID3Lib LGPL'd open-source ID3 parsing library
>
> http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/
>
> We've found that any Windows Media Player older than version 8, that
is
everybody who hasn't got XP on their machine, does not parse ID3 tags
properly, tracknumbers being the main problem.
>
> We've extended ShowShifter to take advantage of ID3Lib when it is
found on
the system. ID3Lib's parsing capabilities are a very solid and reliable.
It
is an open source, freely available library, available from the website
given above.

> We've compiled a DLL for our users, which they can download from
this
location:
>
> http://www.inventv.com/download/ID3Lib-3.8.0pre2-ShowShifter.zip
>
> Unzip it and put the resulting ID3Lib.dll next to ShowShifter.exe.
Exit
ShowShifter. Delete the database files 'MediaServer.fdb' and
'MediaServer.fdb.dat' in the 'Data' subdirectory. Now restart
ShowShifter,
go into the jukebox and let it do a scan.
