# Polyvox.ID3
A podcast-centric ID3 library for parsing and writing ID3 tags.

† **A note about v1 ID3 tags** The podcast name, episode title, and participants
can have no more than 30 characters. The summary can have no more than 28
characters. Don't worry, though: most podcast players use the v2.3 tags without
a problem.
