mutagen for node.js

This is a direct port of mutagen to node.js. I plan to do the port in 4 steps.

note This project is abandoned.

You may be interested in one of these projects instead:

• node-musicmetadata reads tags, pure javascript
• node-groove uses libav to read and write tags

The Plan

1. Get a straight up port working and passing all the tests. This will be synchronous, slow, ugly, dirty, and have basically the same API as mutagen.
2. Convert to async, and get the tests passing again. This will be slow, ugly, and dirty, and have a weird API that makes no sense.
3. Refactor the hell out of the code and switch to an API that makes sense for node. Once the tests are again passing, this will be fast, pretty, clean, and have a new API.
4. Switch license from GPL to BSD? Maybe we can do this once none of the code at all resembles the old code.
