Sharing my work

Today I have released a piece of software that I have written as free software. It's a small library that is used to generate the information stuck to an MP3 file that tells your MP3 player what you are listening to, something called an ID3 tag. The software is mostly simple, but it uses some of the advanced CRC32 reversal stuff that I blogged about a while back, so it has some neat features if you're in the business of creating dynamic metadata to audio files stored in dynamically created zip files. My prediction would be that very few people would actually use this, but the standard ID3 generation functionality is probably useful to some.

Anyway, I'm really happy to be able to give back to the free software community, small pieces of software that I have written. My dream is to some day write a piece of software that grows it's own community around it, with other people contributing new functionality and fixes to problems. I hope that some day that dream will come true. For now it's just me publishing small parts of the software I write. Not all that bad.

For interested parties the information about my library, named id3j, is found at Voxbiblia's Free software page.

Update:
Changed the name of the released package, because of a naming collision.
