hey steven,
give me a few days to get look at the spec to ID3 v2. ive never looked at it as ID3 v1 was good enough for me. It should be straight forward though as the spec to v1 was very clear and easy to use.
1 I would be interested in seeing some code that reads and manipulates the ID3 v2 info as well. I ripped my entire CD collection a couple of years ago. The software I used did a pretty good job of storing the v1 tag, but I would like to write something that could use a combination of Path/File name and v1 tag to suggest and ultimately write a v2 header.
I know it probably isn't difficult, but I have been wanting to do this for over a year and never seem to find the tme. A jump start from you would help.
1 search google for the spec to ID3 v1. Basically the ID3 tag holds all info about the MP3. The id3 tag is the last 128 bytes of the file with data being held at different intervals such as year, artist, name, etc.
If you need any aditional help or have other questions on this or playing Mp3's in .net just ask as i have made a project similar to yours.
Hopefully this helps
