Yes I also agree that something that is available from distribution
repositories is preferable.  Building and installing emms-print-metadata
with its dependencies is not exactly easy for novices, though it is not
rocket science either.

Just let me know if you decide to go with taglib and need help with it.  
It is mostly just a matter of defining the interface between the shim
and EMMS. Actual C++ implementation should be straightforward.
