+* [Go](http://golang.org/) 1.21 or later [installed and properly configured](http://golang.org/doc/install).
 
 * [taglib](https://taglib.org/) - Read the [install instructions](https://github.com/taglib/taglib/blob/master/INSTALL.md) or better yet the one inside your downloaded version. Most operating systems will have it in their package manager, though. Better use this one.
