    mp3 ID3v2

    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone have any code that can read mp3 ID3v2 tags? Failing that a site with some good information about the v2 tags would help. I have found a good few sites and they seem to give lots of information about the tags but nothing about how they are placed in the file it’s self. I am ultimately looking for something that will allow me to extract the length in seconds or the file size from a v2 tag.

    Thanks.

    Thanks anyway but this only does v1 tags (last 127 bytes of the file) and I'm after the v2 tags (at the front of the file.

    Anyone else got any ideas?

    Question Any news here?

    Has anyone come up with a routine to read ID3v2 (and hopefully ID3v1 as well) tags from MP3 files?

    All the info about structure seems to be at www.ID3.org
    but I'm just too lazy. Somebody must have done this already.
