I'm looking for a program I cannot find anything nearly like anywhere on the net. This program is an MP3 tag analyzer. Not an editor--got enough of those--this program that I need will only read and report on MP3 tags.
I want a program which will analyze MP3 files--either a file or recursive folder of files--and write a list of files which contain (or which don't contain) data in each of the standard V1 and V2 MP3 tag fields defined so far. If the bit for one or the other MP3 tag formats is unset, I want that reported, as well as reporting if the bit is set but the fields are blank or contain null values. In this way, I can run the program and generate lists of files that need some fixing-up of their tags. Then I can use these generated lists in other programs and make the changes in a consistent manner across my entire MP3 collection. While being a programmer, I am not a PC programmer. I don't have any tools--compilers, linkers, assemblers, etc.--to do the job on this platform, no less the information on the format of a .MP3 file to go tiptoeing through it to find the data I need and report on it. I have far too many MP3 files to upload them to one of my VAX or Alpha systems and write a program on that platform (which I can most surely do since that's what I do for a living anyway), and I'm thinking that this kind of program would be a sweet piece of cake for some enterprising soul to cobble together reasonably easily and quickly, and we could all benefit from it when it's polished up nice. If you or someone you know can help out with this, please write me off-list, as this is marginally on-topic, if at all, for this one. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
