how can I read mp3 tags from vba code? 1

[TommyTea]

Does anyone out there have any knowledge of reading mp3 tags from within vba code?

You may try something like this :
Dim sTagIdent As String * 3
Dim sTitle As String * 30
Dim sArtist As String * 30
Dim sAlbum As String * 30
Dim sYear As String * 4
Dim sComment As String * 30
Open "\path\to\file.mp3" For Binary As #1
Seek #1, LOF(1) - 127
Get #1, , sTagIdent
If sTagIdent = "TAG" Then
Get #1, , sTitle
Get #1, , sArtist
Get #1, , sAlbum
Get #1, , sYear
Get #1, , sComment
End If
Close #1

Hope This Help, PH.
