Patched version of TagLib (developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html) with support for some additional attributes, and a few other improvements:

• albumArtist

• grouping

• composer

• cdNr (CD Number)

• totalCDs

• totalTracks

• bpm

The patches are originally from: osdir.com/ml/taglib-devel/2010-02/msg00014.html

• “Re: TagLib and disc number”

The patches were taken against 1.6.1, but apply cleanly to taglib 1.6.3.

The exception is patch 05, which was fixed in the base source of taglib in 1.6.2 so patch 05 is no longer needed.

Note: the 1.6.3 source tree in this repo is already patched, like so:

$ cp taglib-patches/* taglib-1.6.3/taglib/

$ cd taglib-1.6.3/taglib
