Moved to a new album/track data parser using demjson.
Slimit and Ply are no longer required.
Some basic spelling corrections and consistency changes.
Function Annotation, return types, and docstrings added.
Added the option to skip grabbing album art.
Removed the lyric grabbing code for now as it seems that if its
available its already embedded
Organized the mutagen imports and encoding.
Modified/Merged @sun2rise's PR, was having issues merging the actual PR
due to the repo being gone (and I'm bad at git)
Had to make some changes to the imports as Mutagen has had some changes.
Refactored to match Python 3 branch.
Switched to a README.rst (for PyPI support) spell checked, updated
information, removed IRC link in favor of Discord (No one was ever in
the IRC channel)
Updated deps, requirements, and setup.py.
Now using the latest versions of the required dependencies.
Note: May cause lextab.py/yacctab.py warnings, they are harmless. If the
warning are annoying delete those two files in site-packages/Slimit
(That are generated anyway)
Updated code, using latest supported syntax for everything possible
while still supporting Python 2.7.x.
Currently code is 1:1 with the Python 3 branch.
Windows Explorer and Media Player cannot read ID3v2 data without first having ID3v1 data present. This makes it necessary to first enable ID3v1 if it was not already enabled on the files (which apparently Bandcamp does not)
It's probably easy to miss this on any reasonable media player or Linux ;)

>After many hours . . .
>I discovered why on save() the information disappears in Windows Explorer and Media Player . . .
>. . . Windows Explorer and Media Player only read, and mutagen does NOT write, ID3v1 tags!
>And as far as I can tell from the LIMITED documentation, mutagen will READ BUT NOT WRITE ID3v1 tags.
>I further discovered, while playing with WINAMP, that it is possible to have BOTH ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in a file, BUT Windows Explorer and Media Player require the ID3v1 tags to come first!
>But there's no way to explicitly ensure that mutagen follows this requirement.
>Does anybody know ID3v1 well enough to dive into the source code and fix this?
>I'm using Windows 7, Python 2.7, Mutagen 1.20. I really hope this helps someone avoid spending painful amounts time!
