 That seem to me to be two different programs with the same name. The
 one in audio/id3 has as author Robert Woodcock, newest copyright date
 around 2000.
 
 The one on github is by Marc Schoolderman, earliest copyright 2003.
 
 That being said, I have no problem replacing the old one with the new one.
 
 Btw, is there a reason this is a PR and not a mail to pkgsrc-users? :)
