LinuxQuestions.org - id3lib Strip?

I wrote a c++ function that I am attempting to use in my program. This function is supposed to remove ALL of the tags (v1, v2, lyrics, etc.) from a specified mp3 file.
Here's the code:

Code:

#include <iostream>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <string>

#include <id3/tag.h>



using namespace std;



void rm_all_tags(string filename)

{

    if (access(filename.c_str(), F_OK) != 0) {

        cout << "Could not open the file:\n" << filename << endl;

    }

    else {

        ID3_Tag currentTag(filename.c_str());

        currentTag.Strip(ID3TT_ALL);

        currentTag.Update();

    }

}

This compiles fine, but the tags AREN'T removed when this function is used.
I just tried it on the latest version of id3lib and it was unsuccessful.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks In Advance,
Bendeco
