How to read ID3 Tags

[nuki 0]

I know that the ID3 Tag is at the top of a mp3 file but my problem is to read this mp3 file... i just come till ID3 ||.... when i try to read it with FileRead(), then it ends even if there is much more text.

i wondered if i could read it in hex and kill/split the strings inside wich i dont need, and save it again but i dont know how it works...

would be nice if somebody would explain it to me

hm it dont works like it should... most times it shows there wouldnt be an id3 tag even if theres one... and when he found one he says things like Song Name: 0x34234234 ^^

i just want to know how to read in hex from a file, or how to read from a mp3 file without loosing information

edit: yea i got it... for those who are interested:

$file = "C:/test.mp3"
$open = FileOpen($file,16)
$data = FileRead($open)
$data = BinaryToString($data)
;MsgBox(0,"",StringLen($data))
FileClose($open)

$open = FileOpen("blub.txt",16+2)
FileWrite($open,$data)
FileClose($open)
