Re: [Dev-C++] Tags from mp3

Hello Fernando!

I have never used ogg vorbis myself, just heard of it, so I looked around on 
www.vorbis.com. This is, what I recommend:

Download Ogg Vorbis Win32 SDK (if you are working under Windows) from www.vorbis.com

Here is a direct link:
http://www.vorbis.com/files/1.0/windows/OggVorbis-win32sdk-1.0.zip

It has everything you might need for encoding/decoding/tagging. Includes, 
libraries, and even DLLs (if you prefer using DLLs). A great benefit of ogg 
files, is that they can have any number of tags. Each tag has the 
TAG_NAME=tag_value format in the file, but the SDK provides an easy to use 
interface for setting and loading tags.

The SDK has a brief documentation and example C sources, well documented.

I hope that helps.

As I stated in my previous mail, mp3 is NOT FREE. I don't know much about it's 
license, but I guess (theoretically) you (would) need to pay for encoding wav 
files to mp3. Ogg vorbis instead is FREE. Even great games today all use ogg for 
music, because it's free, it is small, and it sounds very good. UT2003, Serious 
Sam uses ogg for music, just to mention a few...
