[id3lib-devel] Unicode support in filename

[Aleksandar P. <gu...@ne...>]

Hello all,

I have stumbled upon id3lib and found it to be very useful. The problem I am
having now is in ID3_Tag() constructor which accepts only ASCII filenames
which is very unfortunate in a Windows Unicode environment.

Adding this simple functionality wouldn't be too much trouble but unless I
want to violate the license, the modified source code would have to be
released under the same license. This is all fine but I am unsure which
exact steps I need to take to make this all happen? It appears id3lib isn't
actively maintained any more for many years now. So do I create a new
project out of id3lib on Sourceforge or do I write asking for new features
in exiting lib (hoping someone would listen to them in a timely fashion)? Is
there any other way?

Thanks a lot!
