Someone requested code to read ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags from an MP3 file, so I decided to post it here in case anyone else cared to have it.

Usage:


Cheers!

Quite useful.

Can you enlarge the example to take the duration out of it?

I looked into information on how to obtain the playing time (duration) of an MP3. It'll take a little work, but I can do it. I'll jump on that when I have a little extra time. If you want more information about the MP3 file organization, frame sizes and lengths, etc... visit http://anubisnet.sourceforge.net/devel/mp3/mp3-whitepaper.pdf.

There is a way to get it if you know the freq and thebitrate. I forget the formula tho. Is there a binary reader in DBPro? Cause thats how you can get that information.

You can read data from a file in DBP in increments as low as a byte, up to DWORD. It does not, however, allow to read in a block of bytes into a TYPE, such as C's fread command. I unfortunatly haven't had time to finish off this bit of code, as I have a full time job of running a company.
