Hi!

I’ve been looking for a mp3 tag ruby library and I found one that looks  
promising, mp3taglib. (It uses the high-quality general purpose  
“id3lib” library.)

Unfortunately, the module is written in C and must be built into a  
shared library before it can be used. Like most windows computers in  
the world, mine isn’t equipped with a C compiler. Does anybody out  
there know of a binary distribution of this package?
