What you are looking is called the ID3 tag. It is a tag that is applied at either the beginning or end of the MP3 file, depending on what version of ID3 you use. ID3v1 tags at the end of the file which sucks because if you are streaing audio, you don't get the song information until the end of the song. ID3v2 tags at the beginning, so you get the information first. ID3v2 also allows you to store more information.
Check out http://www.id3.org/ , http://www.mp3-converter.com/mp3codec/id3.htm There are some programs out there that are ID3 tag header editors. You may be able to get the source and migrate that to ASP. HTH! --- Chris Tifer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah, Tore's right. Certain segments of the file > contain information > about it.
