Alittle OT

I'm going crazy looking for this and how to search for it...

But is there a php script that reads the id tag in a mp3 and displays it nicely?

Howdy,

http://getid3.sourceforge.net/ --- here it is a library which reads tags and other useful informations from many file-types.

But if You need only mp3 tag reader, there are already implemented functions in PHP5 core.

EDIT: look into php help file in section "ID3 functions"

Cheers

Incidentally, RKO also uses this library. Dunno if that counts as a recommendation, though.

Yes, getID3() is a really nice library (Jan, you might want upgrade to v1.7.7 as it does fix several issues with writting tags with odd characters).

There are loads and loads of demo scripts to show how it works... excellent lib!
