Hi all,

I am wondering if it is possible to set attributes related to mp3 files such
as Genre/Artist/Album/Title etc. programmatically via the system.io.file or
other class in .net. I have a need to be able to lookup and set these
attributes for mp3 files programmatically.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!

Hi,

There is no *file system properties* for MP3 files to store those
information. However, the MP3 file format has the data structure to store
such information inside an MP3 file itself - the ID3 tag.

To access the ID3 tag inside an MP3 file, you can use the FileStream class
(or some other similar classes) in System.IO namespace.

The CodeProject article that "Mr4U AT gmx.net" suggested could be a good
start point.

Also, there are many other .NET implementations available out there, you
may want to check the ID3.org website for the list:
http://www.id3.org/Implementations

Or if you want to implement your own classes, you may want to check the
ID3.org website for the documents:
http://www.id3.org/Developer_Information

Hope these information helps. If you have any further questions, please
don't hesitate to let me know.

Jie Wang
