Reading MP3/WMA/AIFF/ etc.. tags and file properties
-
Hello everybody, My application reads properties for files within a specified folder and stores them in a database. It reads the following properties: Music Properties (Artist/Title/Album so on...) Audio Properties (Bitrate/SampleRate so on...) Video Properties (Dimensions only) Document Properties (Subject/Title/Author/Description so on...) and basic file properties such as attributes/dates etc. Currently I'm using a combination of .Net framework libraries and Taglib sharp library to read this info. But my problems are: 1. I've not yet found some way to read most of the document properties. 2. The TagLib Sharp library ready audio files well, but throws UnsupportedFormatException for most of the video files. Please suggest some library or any other alternative to read this info reliably. The TagLib library failed to read dimensions for files that Windows Explorer successfully reports the dimensions of. Thanks.

Unlike audio files, none of the major video formats (MEPG, AVI, FLV) support tags such as artist/album/track info - AFAIK.

I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends. - Josh Gray.

Dear, I'm not trying to read artist/album/track info for video files. I've already mentioned that I only need to read the Video dimensions.
