im trying to create a simple ID3 reading class. i use a file stream to get the last 128 bytes of an mp3, and store them in a byte array. i know i have to get the first of theese 128 bytes, and see if they say "T,A,G" , which indicates there is an id3 tag to be read. im just wondering , what do i cast the bytes as, char or string, to show me if the letters TAG are there?
byte to string ( for ID3 tag reader)

Try This:
This code hasnt been tested, and may need some editing on your part, but it should do the trick
.
Code:
Dim Num as integer
Dim ByteStr as string
For Num = 1 to 128
ByteStr = ByteStr & Chr(ByteArray(Num))Where ByteArray is The Array of bytes of yours. Hmmm.
Next
If UCase(Mid$(ByteStr,1,3)) = "TAG" then
code here for dealing with the ID3...
