MP3 ID3 Tools

Overview

This parent script provides access to the ID3 information header found within MP3 audio files. This utility was written for the original ID3 v1 standard, and does not support the new ID3 (v2, v3) standards which includes images, among other things.

• Source code

Requirements

• Macromedia Director 7.0 or later
• the BinaryIO Xtra

How this script works:

• Using the BinaryIO Xtra, the script physically reads the last 128 bytes from the end of the specified MP3 file (where the header information is stored).
• The header is parsed (bit by bit, literally) and the information is extracted into a property list which is returned.
