All this talk about vorbis comments has made me think. Would it be possible to create backups of the Vorbis comments for my vorbis collection (currently about 1850 files) ? Instead of having to make sure I enter the correct details into CDex (saving in to cdplayer.ini & backing up that), or if I have comments in the Vorbis files that aren't stored in cdplayer.ini, such as the tags discussed in the current "Vorbis comment question" thread, I was thinking that it would be usefull to have such a tool that reads through the collection, backsup the comments, so if I lose them through system fkukup (I am using win98 after all :-P), through viral attack, or because I simply re-encode the collection with a newer version of the Vorbis codec. Any thoughts ? <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Does anyone know of any program that does this? -- Best regards, Alex mailto:ogg@iribarren.com --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

quote from site "This module allows one to read and manipulate so-called
ID3
informational tags on MP3 files through an object-oriented Python
interface"
only mention of Vorbis is "dictionary style" thing
"compatible with
ogg.vorbis module". I presume this is only for Vorbis, and i don't have
the
time to try it out myself.

how? to quote the site: "This is actually a set of three modules to access
the CDDB online database of audio CD track titles and information"

I am working fairly heavily on Xouvert, but this shouldn't take more than a week. All contents would be under the GFDL of course, so there'd be no Gracenote scenarios.
