i'm askin' just in case people have tried this so as to stop me tryin' to do the impossible.

There are various ways. Do a little research and search this forum, there's been lots of posts on this subject. ID3 v1 tags are much easier to work with than ID3 v2 tags. Hope this helps you some.
Attached is a class file that will help you read ID3v1.1 tags.
This module works with most ID3v2 tags.
This module will let you play an MP3 file without using the Windows Media Control.
thankx guys
Here are a couple of sites

'and a few sample lines using the filtergraph
Private MediaControl As IMediaControl 'MediaControl Object
Private MediaPosition As IMediaPosition 'MediaPosition Object
Set MediaControl = New FilgraphManager
MediaControl.RenderFile "C:\music\abc.mp3"
MediaControl.Run
MediaControl.Stop
You should be able to set a few mediacontrols to play a few songs, in don't know about fading though.
hope this helps
