I have been working steadily for a few years now on a music-related website. This site includes MP3 media file uploads. These files need to be edited to include metadata that is then stored in the database.
I have been using an excellent program called MP3Tag, which I will continue to use when I need to change the images of a video file, but I no longer require it for my media editing jobs.
Using the Development Software [Delphi], I picked up an MP3 Editor I started years ago and have finally gotten it to the point where it is a solid-performing program that can keep up with the fast pace of the work I have to perform.
I decided to step back from using MP3Tag after I asked the developer to add a simple feature.
The ability to open another instance of the program within the program itself, one that would only allow viewing but not saving.
It was a simple request, but he informed me he wasn't planning to do anything like that to his program. I offered to start donating money monthly to his program if he would do it, but he still declined.
He continued making excuses and workarounds that he felt would benefit me more than having another instance of the program running.
With that in mind, and understanding that MP3Tag is his baby, he will not do anything to it that he does not want. I can understand that, and I was not angry.
Instead, I dove back into Delphi and made the program I needed to do the work I required in my business. Since this was not commercial software, the MP3Tag, I could not ask much of the developer to add features.
The Editor I created, I named after my late son, and it was named after him even before he passed. See, everything I do is named after my son. This website (among the others I own) is named after my son.
