Scripts that alter tag info

[oldtimer]

I am an out of work programmer. At my last job I did some vb/.net work. I figured I would play around with MM scripts to exercise my vb skills. I figured I would write some tag manipulation scripts. I have used many different audio managers and normalizers. Each add tags for normalization ect. I think I would like to build a script that removes all the non ID3 tags. My problem it I would not know where to start. It seems to me the ID3 tags are near the beginning of the file and the non standard ones are near the end. I have seen no documentation regarding the tags at the end of the file. I was hoping to find some scripts that manipulated tag info especially non ID3 tag info. MM used to had a script forum and we had lots of script choices. Now I don't see much.

Any suggestions???

You're on the scripts forum.

The problem is that tagging scripts only manipulate the database, not the files themselves (they're tagged by MediaMonkey itself). This means that I don't think there are samples of scripts that modify the tags in the files themselves.

Do you like to manipulate the tracks manually (means byte by byte from your own code)?
I suggest, that you use a pre-built library like Taglib: http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html
