hey will!

as far as preferring one or the other, the only thing that makes a difference for me is the allowable length of fields. if i recall correctly, the fields can't be anywhere near as long in v1... so given some of your retitling options above, i'd go for v2 personally.

i love happyfish and recommend it every chance i get. terrific work....

This feature would be good, because often we come across feeds that have files with no tags, ability to change genre was what drew me towards Happyfish, so this addition will be a good evolution.

I agree w/denys, that ID3v2 is the way to go. I don't think there are too many modern devices that rely on v1. I could be wayyyy wrong here, but my ipod, walkman & car stereo all read v2. Of course if you're in the code mucking about in the first place, the most flexible approach would be to let the user decide:

1) Write to v2, remove v1
2) Write to v1, remove v2
3) Write to both (knowing v1 may get truncated)
4) Remove both (device/player will rely on file name)

That's my 2.5 cents, anyways :)

I think that's great... Thanks for asking/listening!

I like these options very much. As for tag version, I would like ID3v2.3. While there is a 2.4, it's not supported by some programs and mp3 players.

You didn't say whether you intended this as a global option or as a per-feed option. I think a per-feed option would be useful, as different feeds have different tags included, so what's best for one isn't best for another.

I hope the Year option is a full year-month-day setting.

Is this feature likely to be available for testing in the near future?

I definitely need the ability to change the ID3 tag. On my windows mobile device, i would like to see in the playlist the video podcast sorted by date. Date format should be yyyy-mm-dd. This makes the most sense for data archeiving I think. Doppler software can do this but it has some problems on Vista x64.
