#12: Better handling of ID3 v.2.2
- Contents
Users get an error when they try to upload MP3 files that have been encoded with ID3 v.2.2. We need to fix this.

Motivation
The eyeD3 library we are using for reading/writing the ID3 tags only supports reading ID3 v.2.2 tags, but not writing them. This means that whenever someone uploads an MP3 file in v.2.2, the upload fails and they get an error message saying TagException: Unable to write ID3 v2.2.
See the discussion thread on this topic here.
Proposal
We need to either find a different library (mmpython?) or rewrite the code in such a way that the tags are read as v2.2 but written back using v2.3 or v2.4.
