Different audio files like MP3, WAV, WMA, RA etc. etc. have different file formats. The properties that you mentioned will be stored in different locations in different file formats.

I'm pretty sure most audio files store properties like this in id3 tags.... I think id3lib [^] is an opensource C++ api.
