best way to do this...

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

at the end of every mp3 file is it's TAG tells you various info about the mp3...
how would I go about getting this info?
it looks something like this:

Tags are saved as last 128 bytes in the MP3 file.

    Dim strPath As String
    Dim intFFN As Integer
    Dim strBuffer As String
    Dim lngRec As Long
    Dim strTitle As String
    Dim strArtist As String
    Dim strAlbum As String
    Dim strMsg As String
    
    strPath = "C:\MyMp.mp3"
    intFFN = FreeFile
    Open strPath For Binary As intFFN
    lngRec = LOF(intFFN) - 128
    strBuffer = Space(128)
    Get #intFFN, lngRec, strBuffer
    Close #intFFN
    strTitle = Mid(strBuffer, InStr(strBuffer, "TAG") + 3, 30)
    strArtist = Trim(Mid(strBuffer, 31, 30))
    strAlbum = Trim(Mid(strBuffer, 61, 30))
    strMsg = "Title: " & strTitle & vbCrLf
    strMsg = strMsg & "Artist: " & strArtist & vbCrLf
    strMsg = strMsg & "Album: " & strAlbum
    MsgBox strMsg

Read in the entire file, edit the bit you are interested in, write file back out again. Simple..?

If it ain't broke - don't fix it

serge that code doens't work when i run it

[aussiejoe]

maybe his code doesnt work exactly, but he told you all you need to know to make your own, just read the file, and experiment till you get it right
