[RESOLVED] [2008] Does anyone have the UltraID3Lib.dll

[scootabug]

I'm trying to get my hands on the UltraID3Lib.dll file. The web site is down, can't find it anywhere. Surely someone here has the file?

It looks like it was included as part of the World of Warcraft install...
"Interface/AddOns/MusicPlayer/UltraID3Lib.dll"

But I don't have WoW either.

I'm a desperate man!

Nevermind for now, I am trying to use another library called TagLib Sharp. It also supports many other formats, so it's a blessing in disguise. I'll post back again with my findings or further whining about not having UltraIDELib if it's not successful.

Well I'm having great success with TagLib#, thanks to a little much needed help from jmcilhinney. He helped me convert some C# to VB in another thread.

For future reference, once you've added a reference to TagLib# in your project, this is the quick and dirty method for reading the Tags from an MP3 file:

Dim MusicFile As File = TagLib.File.Create("C:\YourMusicTrack.mp3", ReadStyle.Average)

This will return a ton of properties for the file, including all of the expected ID3 tags which can be accessed like so:

Return String.Concat(MusicFile.Tag.Title," - ",MusicFile.Tag.FirstAlbumArtist)

It's taking me about 3-4 seconds to scan about 415 folders with approximately 3500 files, retrieving Artist, Album, Title etc and storing the these values in a few Lists. I'm super impressed with the performance.

Sweet as!

Hi,
You say you have got Taglib# o work in VB. How? I try and add references to the dll's and it basically wont add them.

I'm sure that if I could add the reference the rest is, relatively, easy.

Thanks
Martin

Perhaps you have the wrong DLLs. This might seem like a waste of time, but have you been able to add DLL's to your projects previously? Aka - do you know how to do it, or is this the first time?

[Martin Beney]

I have addd dll's - occasionally only. But the route I use is Tools, References, browse, and then open it.
That's what I did with this dll and access basic said it could open that dll.

[scootabug]

It said it could? Do you mean it couldn't open the DLL?
