[VB.NET/WPF] Getting MP3 Metadata


Question

Hey guys, little problem: I'm writing a program, WPF + VB.NET. Drag and drop mp3 files onto it, they start playing. All fine and dandy :)

What I want to do though is be able to read the metadata from the ID3 tags and display that info too (Artist, Album, Song Title, Album Art). Anyone know how to do that in VB.NET? Or any good tutorials to show me the way?? I've searched quite a bit - couldn't find much of anything :(

Cheers guys

Well I managed to get it mostly done myself, as this lil video shows about part way through. (Sorry, you gotta sign in to facebook to watch it >_<)

All I kinda need to do now is set the album art to that of the song... which leads me to my next question:

How do you change the image source of an image in WPF??

...because it's certainly not as simple and straight forward as it is in Silverlight =/ And again... I am lost ^.^

    • Using doomed and bloated WinUI for foundation was a mistake.
    • Sound Booster 1.12 Build 544 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.
