That's encouraging. And, as you say, with the ability to add custom
categories. However, I was unable to add a tag to exported .wav file
using Audacity v1.3.2 (Mac OS X 10.4.8). At the top of the Metatag
Editor window, my version has text that reads, "ID2 mp3 exporting."
I chose the "more compatible" tag option. Thus far, I've been
unsuccessful locating the tag editor you are using, Umashankar, by
searching "broadcast systems infoedit" Rob D.
