Well, there's an example using the BinaryIO floating around on update stage,
but it's a tough thing to do...
There's a couple of different types of mp3 ids -- the original id for mp3
was added to the last 128 bytes of a file and use different kind of variable
names (can't remember off the top of my head - the binaryio hack will list
it) -- this of course sucked if you were streaming the file, as you wouldn't
hit that info til the end.
So id3 came around and was put at the beginning of the mp3 file -- but again
the variable names changed. On a mac you can use resourcer to view this
info, but it's a bit of a tough call to read the info -- since the id3 tages
could have numtochar(0), you have to use binaryio to get past this info as
any other filextra would see that as a carriage return.
Lingo has .copyrightinfo but I've never gotten that to work. Ever.
