Hi.

It appears that your "artist" variable ends with NULL.

You can check this by looking at "artist.length".
If that is greater than you expected it probably means that there are characters with ASCii-code "0" in the end of the string.

Yeah, you are right, the are all 30 char lenght, so I am gonna look in the code of TAG retriever prevent this.

Thanks

BTW, do you know how to use the same way that Windows to retrieve all MP3 info cause code I found never work with variable bitrate MP3. And with windows it's always exact.

Hi.

Afraid not. Sorry. But a quick search for ID3 in this forum should produce something.

I remember seeing quite a few posts about ID3 tags.

Also, you might wanna have a look in the codebank/utilitybank.

As a matter of practice, it is best not to use variable names which might conflict with reserved names in VB.NET or databases etc. Use strSpace and strTitle.
