 RB & MP3 ID3v2 Tags

Hi!
I'd like to implement sort of an MP3 organzier and I need to read out ID3v1/
ID3v2 Tags such as Artist, Title and Album form a MP3 file. Is there already
a plugin/class for RB that makes the dirty work for me or do I have to scan
the bitstream manually for the tags? Thanks for any Tip!

Look on the quicktime UserData Track.
There is a class for that in RB.

"?ART" is the artist, if I remember correctly.

Christian (or someone else)-
Where'd you learn that? The RB docs only list lowercase ones, most of which
don't work with MP3's ID3 tags. Is there a list somewhere of all of the ones
to use with ID3? (CD, Artist, Title, Genre, etc.) I think that I'll finally
be able to resurrect my MP3 project that I abandoned about a year ago :)
Thanks,
Owen

I've tested this quite a bit, and through a lot of trial and error, I've
come to the conclusion that this method only works correctly for ID3v1 or
v1.1 tags, but not for anything >=v2. Does anyone know why this is, or how
to read ID3v2 tags (or have my tests led me astray? I tested it by using
iTunes 'Convert ID3 Tags..." feature, and was able to read ID3v1 tags in my
test RB app using this method, but not ID3v2 tags. Converting to v1 in
iTunes solved the problem for most files).

1. Open QuickTime Player.
2. make a new empty movie
3. add a property like "artist".
4. Open the movie in BBEdit.
5. Read what you see nearby a "?".

go to the online reference and type in 'QTUserData'
I think its only a property of EditableMovie.

Actually, MP3 info can be accessed via the UserData of an editable movie,
but I've only gotten this to work with ID3v1 tags. Thanks for the URL, who
is the author of MP3INFO, and how can it be used (is there any license or
anything?) It's a great module, and works well for just about every MP3 I've
tested it on.

The module is mine.
use it as you wish.
let me know if it gives you any problems.

bill
btw,
a new id3 version hs been defined and MP3INFO does
not yet support it. I do not know of any schedule for it.
