Hi Bob When you have huge amount of mp3 files I think it is better to store wome information about the files in a database. That's my next project I would like to start working on. I have a pretty good database for CD, Tapes and LPs etc. But I need to do some changes when it comes to mp3 files.
As I said before I try not to put the music in a certan genre except the one in ID3V1 tags. To many Genres makes it hard to keep track of. 125 genres is good enough for me. Next step is of courset add support for ID3V2 tags but I know this will take time and I have more important things to work on. Any idea where I can find the spec how to add Id3V2 tag supports to my programs. I need the spec that tells how to store the ID3V2 tags. Is it stored at the begging or at the end of the mp3 file?
