Metadata container can be useful for storing information like title, album artist, artwork, comments and other file related data in a song. iTunes is an example of where you can find implementation of this. Taglib is a free library that can be used for reading and writing metadata of many popular audio formats. Today will be focusing on the C# port of this library and how to use it on Windows Phone 7.
