    MP3 meta-data is stored in ID3 tags. You should search the Web and this forum and you'll get plenty of hits.

    MP3 information is stored in two different places, depending on the ID3 tag version.

    ID3v1: Last 128 bits of the mp3
    ID3v2: Much more complicated due to frames and you should read the following website. http://www.id3.org/

    C# - .NET 1.1 / .NET 2.0
