No, I don't think mp3tag would directly benefit from x86\_64, and there are no new fancy features in the 64-bit APIs yet.

I was just wondering whether you plan to switch to 64 bit at some point, since 32-bit versions of some libraries you are using might become underdeveloped and buggy or just go away in a couple of years.
