about "[vorbis] Vorbis Comment Editor v0.1.0":

BC> I think it's time to create (and I'm about to do so) a generic extensible

BC> TITLE comments, ID3 TIT2 frames, or whatever.

This is good idea. And incorporating this library into Winamp will
greatly help ;)

INTERNAL STORAGE IDEAS:
Well, there should be UTF-8 non-limited length storage for all fields.
A tagged format (like in vorbis) is useful. A list or array of such
entries {tag,value} is easy to maintain and convert to any other outer
format.

EXTERNAL STORAGE:
A set of modules mapping such entries into output format and
working with files on their own, I think. Also, those modules can
import own format descriptions into tagged format. Seems thats all.

EDITOR:
Editing system as in Warren's VCE, with probably hint line saying if
such comment type is not supported in some file formats (e.g. "This
comment type is not supported in MP3, WAV, AUD" or something).
