So, i'm trying to read the details information from various audio formatted files, most of which are mp3s. specifically i'd like to be able to read the title, artist, and # for a few hundred files that need renaming and resorting, so i'm trying to start with a single file.

basically, if you view the properties of any mp3, and go to the details tab, all of this information is listed. i need to grab it programatically using visual studio 2010.


and in case anyone is wondering, the reason for this is that the music was backed up from an itunes library where all of the filenames had been set to simple numbers...i assume for indexing purposes. all of the files still have the detail information though, so i want to write a little program that will pilfer through the music folder and rename all of the music appropriately and then move it all into folder structures that will represent the artist and album...

so yeah...anyone have any suggestions?
