FLAC uses the ID3v2 spec for tagging


I should clear this up since it's not currently clear from the docs.

FLAC is neutral with regard to id3 v1/v2 tags. The reference decoders are aware of them and the plugins can read them but the spec doesn't require all implementations to do so.

There is now a metadata block type for Vorbis-style comments. which is becoming a preferred method for tagging. You can't use vorbiscomment to tag FLAC files, but the flac distro comes with a similar utility called metaflac that can be used to add/edit/delete Vorbis comments in FLAC files.

There is also a metadata interface in libFLAC (the C library) and libFLAC++ (the C++ library).
