TagLib, an awesome library to edit ID3 metadata

Recently, I have some MP3 files that contains its ID3 data in Arabic (I think either WINDOWS-1256 or ISO-8859-6 formats), the formats that cannot be read by Rhythmbox.
 
So, I have either edit in source of Rhythmbox (which is a better solution), or find a library to enable me to re-write these metadata.

I went with solution #2, I have do some search and found TagLib, a very awesome KDE library that makes this task very easy. Building the library was a straightforward task, I can say it is the first lib that I can build from source in my life .) .

Example:

	#include <iostream>
	#include <taglib/fileref.h>
	#include <taglib/tag.h>
	using namespace std;
	using namespace TagLib;
	int main(void)
	{
	FileRef f("/home/mhewedy/Desktop/copy_dump.mp3");
	cout << f.tag()->artist() << endl;
	f.tag()->setArtist("Fairouz");
	f.tag()->setTitle("MySong");
	f.save();
	return 0;
	}
