Does anyone know how to scan an MP3 file in asp and extract the artist and the track from the ID3 tag? Is this even possible?

Thanks, Martin.

Does this script work for a <input type="file"> or does the MP3 have to be on the server because it uses fso.

Thanks, Martin.

you cannot peek inside a client's file on their computer.. ASP only has access to files on its filesystem

imagine the havoc if it wasn't that way

Cool. I checked out the script and it kicks butt. I think I'll be using that one in the near future.

So your saying you can upload files and post he contents anywhere on your site and make it availible for download with the users say so, but you can't view files they selected in 'real time' with there say so. There must be a way...

You obviously dont have an iota of a clue about "scope"

A file here on my work computer is NOT accessible by a web server, even if the location is listed inside a "file" input box...

If server side script had access to a user's file system, it would be "hack a rama"

Now there are some Client-side ActiveX controls that can capture info about files a user says is ok to do so, but those controls are very pricey... but Joe Schmo programming in straight up ASP DOES NOT have access to any files outside the world of "cookies"
