id3 tags

[krizla]

Hi,

I've been learnign vb.NET for 6 months now and I understand genral basics of, winforms, webforms, ado.net, uml, crystal reports ...

Now I want to make my first real-life program (not just some excersise). I want to make a a winapp that makes it's really easy to select mp3's from your harddisk, and burns them to CD, but it also has to make a cd-label with a list of the content (it has the show the ID3-tags of all the mp3's listed by number exactly like they're burnt on cd).

So, I have some questions, what do I need to burg a cd via VB.NET and how do I get ID3-tags from mp3's? Can anyone tell the genral outlines? Making a GUI is no big deal and the basic code is easy, I just don't know how to burn it and get the ID3-tags ...

greetz,
krizla

For the Id3 tags, check this previous thread:

Both questions is for most programmers about using available libraries.

For ID3 support try the UltraID3Lib available both .Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0 (if you should decide to step up, VB2005 Express is free, you know, works fine for all beginners)

Maybe this is useful: Writing CDs
