Little App to update Frodo Player with APE and FLAC tags

Since I am in the process of updating my music library to FLAC and Frodo player did not fully support FLAC tags I wrote this little program that updates Frodo Players database with the tag information. It works for FLAC and APE tags. Not sure if anyone else is even interested, but I figured I would post it anyway.

If anyone does use it, please report bugs to this thread.

Here is the application

I will explain. Basically APE and FLAC tags are not the same standard as ID3 tags (found in MP3 files). They are in a different part of the music file. Because of that they need to be parsed diffferently. Frodo Player can not do this right now because I just don't think it is worth Frodo's time as he is working on other things with Frodo Player.

And I am not sure if you are clear on this or not, but APE and FLAC files are lossless music files. Apposed to MP3 which are Lossy music files. And each store meta data tags differently.

Hope that helps.
