hey,

Ok i want to know how i would go about editing MP3 file info with PHP.

i have over 2000+ tracks where the artist and song name is round the wrong way.

also i would like to know how to get a MP3 files info so it could be displayed on a webpage.

so i guess if i knew how to a) get the info from the file
and b) save info

i could simply have a program have somekind of while theres unedited mp3s keep reading the info have it save the "track name" as the artist and the "artist" as the track name. and have it do this.


but how would i edit the info?

Thanks.

Well, if you don't really need to edit the info, can't you just do a while loop to get the names of all of the files, and then explode the array with the "-"?

Then you could just print out the Name first.

well its not the name its the actual info.

u know when u right click -> Properties -> details u can enter comment, artist, track and everythign else :P

Use an mp3 tag editor to fix the problem see if you can find one that uses amazon or something so it is faster

yes, but i dont know of any tage edior whcih will switch all the artist and song name around.

and no it wouldnt work like that for the simple fact the 2000+ tracks im talking about is a EVERY SINGLE No1 since they began in 1958
and there for i dont need the smart A** software to go in and go thats from this ablum thats track no 8 etc etc etc

and also i want to write a php application for a music libaray where the ability to read tag info would be a BIG bonus.
