[mad-dev] Adding tags (Was: How to manipulate both V1 and V2 tags in the same file)

I guess this might make more sense if I explained what I'm doing. I maintain a general-purpose ID3 tagging tool that I'm trying to upgrade to support V2 tags.

Just out of curiosity - are you experiencing the same problem as me, that it seems impossible to add a tag to a file which does not have one already using libid3tag, and how have you solved it?

What I am experiencing is:

* If a file has ID3v2 but not ID3v1, only the ID3v2 tag is manipulated, no ID3v1 tag is added.

* If a file has ID3v1 only, vice versa.

* If a file has neither, the file won't have a tag after being processed by libid3tag either.

Same?
