jpog-XP is a tool I wrote for reading and writing metadata in jpg and ogg files; specifically XPComment and XPTitle for jpg as well as title and comment for ogg. It also replaces newline characters with "" since I need the metadata to be web friendly.

The art and music sections of my website ( http://www.jesnjem.art ) are designed to display title and descriptions for songs and images based on the metadata they contain. When I was running Windows it was no problem to edit the metadata using the properties menu. Now that I've migrated to Linux I found that the XPComment and XPTitle sections I was modifying are somewhat proprietary to Microsoft. Boo! This means there's no menu to edit these sections and most command line tools fail to write to those sections. After some research I was able to write this little app that allows me to modify those fields once again.
