I mostly want to work with ID3v2.  It's good to know about that Ruby 
thing, but I might not want to work that hard on this.  My current need is 
*so* simple...

I know there must be something out there.  There has to be.  My needs are 
very simple.

Right now all I *really* need to be able to do is to add a comment tag! 
I want to add the same comment to thousands of files, so I don't want to 
do it "by hand."  I really think that has to be very easy.  Anyone??

For the more general solution:  I'm pretty sure I could do anything I'd 
ever want to do if I could just use regexp pattern matching within given 
ID3 fields.
