It IS possible to provide meta-data tags using a "out of band" interface... but the problem with THAT method is that it leads to very poorly synch'ed tags.

Again, thanks much for the encouragement!

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. And given that information, it's better to not have tags at all on the website if there is any chance that the tags would be out of synch. That'd be pretty damned annoying

I'll be looking forward to the changes you've got planned for Scannercast.

Mike
