[ID3 Dev] Tag archive and a couple questions

[Jud White]

Hello all,

I'm new to the list and just wanted to take a minute to say hello and 
introduce myself.  I've been using ID3v2 in C++ since 1999.  I currently 
live in Houston (US) with my fiancée and one furry cat, and have been in 
professional software development for some years.  My current technical 
focus is on client-side C#.  I author some tagging software in my spare 
time and may release a lib I'm working on in C#.

I've put together a collection of 93,000 ID3v2 tags intended for library 
authors to test their code.  The collection contains 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 
compressed frames, unsynchronised tags, most (but not all) frame types, 
and lots of mis-written frames.  I've taken note of the most common 
errors in implementation, but it's rather spread out at the moment in 
comments.  I hope to consolidate this list and make it available.  The 
tags archive is available here: http://cdtag.com/tags/id3tags.7z.

A couple questions:
- I've seen a lot of 2.4 frames in 2.3 tags, most likely some 
implementation trying to offer more content while not breaking apps that 
only support 2.3.  Is there a consensus (right or wrong) on this 
behavior?  What about additions to enum types?
- Is there a new link for the wiki?

Thanks for all your hard work.

Jud
