TheEmulatorGuy from our forums has released v1.0 of his ID3PSP homebrew application today. Although coinciding with the release of ID3lib v0.9, this uses none of the code from ID3lib and has all been coded by TheEmulatorGuy himself. ID3PSP is an MP3 ID3 tag editor/reader for the PSP which allows you to change ID3 tags without leaving the comfort of your PSP. It currently supports ID3v1 reading and editing and ID3v2 reading; although currently it will not display tags with padding correctly.

Here's how to use it, straight from TheEmulatorGuy himself:

"Press circle to edit a ID3v1 tag. For genre+track number, use the up/down arrows to change. For others, use left/right arrows to decide which character to change, and up/down to change it. If you would like to delete a character, press square. To save, press circle, or to discard changes, press cross.

Although v1.0, TheEmulatorGuy is working on a brand new GUI and a new system for editing, as he realises that it is a little tricky to edit them at the moment; so you can expect another more functional release soon, so treat this as a beta.

ZXeno from our forums has released v0.9 of his ID3lib development library for reading ID3 tags from MP3 files in C. This is very useful for developers coding some sort of media player or any other homebrew application with MP3 support. It has support for ID3v1 and ID3v2 (all versions should work). Here's what ZXeno said:

"The library should be able to read any ID3 version, but I'm not 100% sure about this. The album tag is not fully functional either. So you won't be able to use that yet, but I'm working on implementing it. It's pretty easy to understand, so any C developer (with some basic struct knowledge) should be able to use this. But just to make it simpler I made a basic example that reads the tag data from "test.mp3" which is included in the zip (it has no music data, so it won't play in a media/music player)"

ZXeno has given permission for anybody to use/edit this library as much as they want, although he would like to see some credit if it is used in an application. Developers, coders - what are you waiting for? The source code is included in the download.
