ive written an id3v2 tag reader in vb. its not completely done yet. id like some feedback on how well it handles various mp3's as all mine are tagged fairly similarly.
only grabs id3v2 so far. with some crossing between 2.3 and 2.4
doesnt write tags
source included.

the first one was such a bit, heres the next build.

err... big hit
not bit.

arggh, the sarcasm got to me

Works fine reading my v2 tags (though the "can't read v1 tags" window popping up all the time on tracks with no tags is a bit annoying)

Only comment I'd make is that the two column layout you've chosen allows the fields in the first column to leech over into the second column if the entries are long enough (ALL of mine were, meaning "source" & "genre" where overlaid with "artist" and "title" data)

Sim

havent fixed that arranging issue, but i did add support for id3v1
i have no id3v1 tagged files nor any software to write such, so i dont know if it works. but its there at any rate.
