Experiments in GNOMEland

For some time now Tracker has got the ability to «writeback» changes, understand to replicate in the real metadata changes operated in Tracker’s store. For example, if I insert in the store “file X has title ‘foo'”, Tracker will try to write that information in the file’s metadata (ID3, OGG…).

So far, writeback has been more of a technological demo than a real feature, but I recently merged a taglib based writeback module which should make it more useful: that means Tracker can now writeback to almost all common audio formats out there.

Of course, if you want more writeback, you can always follow the guide, and write your own!
