Edit ID3 Tags using C#?

[wa22guy]

Anyone know how to edit ID3 tags using C#? I remember about two years ago there was someone who wrote a DLL in VB6 that could do everything, including changing the album cover.

Is there any DLL out there like that for .NET that is robust enough to edit everything?

Thanks for the link, it's a good starting point. My only problem with that code is:

1 - It's in VB.NET and I need C# (I can rewrite it)

2 - It doesn't pull back all frames, such as album cover picture, composer, etc. (I can add those too)

Although I can do it myself, if it's already out there somewhere I don't want to waste time. If anyone has any ideas on some more robust code, let me know. Thanks!

Found some good stuff at http://sourceforge.net for those who are interested. Just search for ID3 and C#

Anyone know a good place to find a DLL/Project that I can import into my Solution that allows me to edit an ID3 tag in an MP3?

Currently out there the pickings are slim for anything that updates version 2 tags. I want something simple that I can reference like this:

using ID3Edit;

private void Get()

{

ID3Tag id3Tag = new ID3Tag();

id3Tag.GetV2andV1Tag("C:\\test.mp3");

txtTitleV2.Text = id3Tag.TitleV2;

txtTitleV1.Text = id3Tag.TitleV1;

}

private void Save()

{

id3Tag.TitleV2 = txtTitle.Text;

id3Tag.UpdateV2Tag("C:\\test.mp3");

}

I would be willing to pay $100 or so if someone could create a DLL like this for me within the next few days. I bet many other people out there are willing to pay for it as well. If you know of something that's already created in C# that is as easy to use as my above code, email me right away. I just don't have the time or knowledge to put something like that together.

Email me for details if you want the job or if you have a DLL like this:

as a programmer i'm just gonna ask "why?"

why would you pay for this?

there are hundreds of programs that already edit id3 tags... why would you want to add another one?

i'd accept the argument that this is a learning experience, but you're looking for someone to code it for you.

don't waste your money and learn how to do it on your own.

Why don't you do a little project for yourself and make your own MP3 class, complete with ID3 info properties? (Y)

I'd like it within a day and I need a more experienced programmer than me. Also, it's not an ID3 Tag Editor... it's a completely different project I'm working on. Anyway, the only reason I'm willing to pay is because I need it now rather than later.

well i could definitely see a use for this if you were going to display mp3 file information on the web and/or in an app. But I don't know of any resources like this...sorry. I would probably just write it myself

Speaking of writing it myself...

How easy is it to write wrappers in C#? I could write one around the id3lib.dll C++ library if it's simple enough and just use it.
