#53 Sample code for retieving the ID3 tag for album covers

[Srijith K. Nair]

Is there any simple piece of code I can use for retriving the album cover ID3 tag from an MP3 file?

Thanks!

If you're using .NET, see my SimpleID3 project
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleid3). It provides .NET
and COM interfaces for id3lib, and I just added Picture
support for the .NET version.

I am using VC++ 6. How portable is the codes you mentioned
to VC?

I've got functions in standard C++ to determine if a picture is
present and to retrieve the raw binary data... you'd have to
decifer it (ie. decode the JPEG) on your own, since I'm
using .NET functions for that sort of thing.

You can take a look at the 'additional_support.cpp' file in the
SimpleID3 project to see if any of the functions I've got there
would be useful for you.

This looks very good, and just what I need.

does your simple_ID3 project (COM Object) work with VB
version 6 or VBA .? (I Cannot get your sample to work ...)

Is it possible to add the field "Sampling rate" to the fields
available as read-only.?

It should work fine with VB6, and probably VBA (although I
haven't tested it, but it's COM, so it should be ok.)

I fixed some dependency issues in the latest release, so if you
haven't tried that, give it a try and let me know if it works.

I'll look into the sampling rate. Should be easy to add. I'm
not quite sure why I didn't add it in before...

mech9to8,
Is there any future consideration of adding cover art writing
capabilities to SimpleID3?
