is there a way to store all of a file's metadata in a text file like you can
with DOS' ATTRIB function.
specifically music files.

I am not sure what you mean. ATTIB actually provides you a way to manipulate
the attributes of a file stored as a part of the files meta-data in the file
system, not in a text file. If you are looking at storing meta data in MP3
files look at MP3 ID tags or look at Tags available in Vista.
 
attrib my.fil > my.txt with store the attributes like A R etc of my.fil into
my.yxy file.
this is what i am looking for.
 
there aught to be a way to do something that on a directory of music files
see the and store all of the metadata like title, artist, etc in a txt file.

Well, you could run the required ATTRIB command in a Process. Or you
could do it all internally by using the FileInfo Class and a
StreamWriter.
 
guess i didn't make myself clear.
i don't need a replacement for the ATTRIB command.
i need something that can see a music file's metadata.
