From: LondonLad on 6 Apr 2010 06:08 Hi I like to try and get help on this again I know the problem my lack of computer experience means that I only explain in the terms I understand which is often not the correct terminology which is no help to you experts to try and give some help. So I am going to explain what I am doing step by step and only move on when you understand me. I have a folder called MyMusic this contains about 700 folders for each artist. the artist folder has a list of songs I open C:\ Drive use Views to display by details If I click the name tool bar I can select the columns to display like Artist/Type/Date Modified etc. When I view this information some of the columns have incorrect info or info I do not want. What is the best way to edit these entries? Thank you Sorry long message to say just a little. Ron

However I can highly recommend MP3Tag which can batch edit the information in audio files for you. It also allows you to rename the file based on the information, or vice versa.
From: LondonLad on 6 Apr 2010 09:27 Hi Clive Thanks for the post what I wanted to do was write something in VB to do the job in the hope it would work quicker. i started with a listbox but I could only edit the name so I am trying to start again Ron "Clive Lumb" wrote: > > > "LondonLad" <LondonLad(a)discussions.microsoft.com> a écrit dans le message de > groupe de discussion : 809551C6-6DFB-4694-9596-3ACFCD2F7F7E(a)microsoft.com... > > Hi > > I like to try and get help on this again I know the problem my lack of > > computer experience means that I only explain in the terms I understand > > which > > is often not the correct terminology which is no help to you experts to > > try > > and give some help. > > So I am going to explain what I am doing step by step and only move on > > when > > you understand me. > > I have a folder called MyMusic this contains about 700 folders for each > > artist. > > the artist folder has a list of songs > > I open C:\ Drive use Views to display by details > > If I click the name tool bar I can select the columns to display like > > Artist/Type/Date Modified etc. > > When I view this information some of the columns have incorrect info or > > info I do not want. > > What is the best way to edit these entries? > > > > Thank you > > Sorry long message to say just a little. > > > > Ron > > This doesn't sound like a VB problem to me.... > However I can highly recommend MP3Tag which can batch edit the information > in audio files for you. > It also allows you to rename the file based on the information, or vice > versa. > > > . >

This information is stored in what are called ID3 tags. I recommend doing a Google search for "ID3 VB6" and see what you turn up.

You'd need to research the format. Maybe Clive Lumb's link would help. Unfortunately, there's no standard for extra file properties. For instance, in JPGs there are two entirley separate systems that store properties in the file header. (IPTC and EXIF) Some software (including Windows) will overwrite one set of data when it saves the other! And different companies/software will store different properties with different IDs in the same data set. It's a somewhat willy nilly system. As far as I know there's nothing like an international standards body that deals with it. (Microsoft, naturally, broke with the standard behavior to proclaim their own specific section of the EXIF data and to be the only company that stores that data in unicode format.....while ignoring the existence of IPTC data.) That's just JPGs. Each file type is different. And for awhile Microsoft was using ADS files to store some of the details you're looking at, in some cases. Then they stopped that because they realized that 1) Not everyone is using an NTFS file system. 2) ADS files attached to a visible file are lost when the file is moved to a non-NTFS-formatted disk. (Floppy, CD, DVD, FAT32, EXT*, etc.) So that's a roundabout way to say that all bets are off. MP3s will have their own system, or lack of it. Microsoft may or may not have a library to handle stored MP3 properties. Probably not. You just have to find docs that detail it, hope that it's a somewhat standardized system....and you may have to write your own parser. |
