This seems pretty straightforward. However what about ID3v2 tags? I know MP3's can have v1, v2, or both. How can you read v2 using VB?
Thanks. -
I was wondering the same thing as you and I decided that they probably wouldn’t put both V1 and V2 at the same end so I took a look at the beginning and I did get something but not what I hoped for.
It appears at least that the ID3V2 info is held at the beginning, but it only appears to hold the strings which have been filled in, IE: if whoever entered the info included the song title but not the artist then it WILL NOT store a blank string for the artist.
I could be completely wrong about all of this so I'll post another message when I have found out how to decode it fully, but if someone beats me to it then I’d appreciate a reply to this message to save me wasting my time…

You're right that far I think. I have found some vb code that can read and write v2 since I posted this. It crashes sometimes when certain fields are empty though; and it will only read the basic v2 fields. I've been trying to fix it. Its kinda long, if you email me I'll send you the zip it came in.

I have written an application (mp3-portal-intranet) thing once,
and I recognize the problem, but maybe my code can help you. -
I had the same problem with id3v2 tag. Maybe this URL will help you:
http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/ -
This is really sweet, but I would also like to know how to SET MP3 tag information
Thanks! -
Does anyone have similar code for C# to read ID3V2 tags.
Also, If wanted to write an application to search ID3V2 tags and return results, is it better to first load all media into some database, or search the files individually?

I'm afraid that I don't have anything in c# for you, but some advice on whether to load the info first or not. My suggestion would be to load the info first. This is because if the user wants to do several searches, preloading all the mp3s will mean that you only have to access the file info once instead of several times. This will save vast amounts of time for people like me who keep a BIG number of mp3s
Hope this is of some help

Did you get it to work? The documentation is only for C++ and I want to use it in VB... Does anybody know how to do that? -

Thanks thats an excellent article and works well...
I would like two supplementals:
The first on how to read mp3 quality information 192kb/s etc
The second on how to write this data back out to the file.
It would be real handy also if there was a list of the combo list of genre relative to the asc code
(Would of got 5 on my vote if it had the combo code) -
hi!
http://members.a1.net/pasce/index.htm
here you find something to read & write Id3v1/Id3v2 Tags!
mfg VBCool -
Here you can find something
-
Why is Tag included in the TYPE definition? It would appear to me that once Tag = "TAG" then you could use one GET to gather the other information using the Type variable DIMensioned. Interesting ideas here!
Thanks,
Ted
