im working on converting my LP records to MP3. my sound card comes with software that allows me to use my own turntable.
however the software makes "wav" file only. i use a third party software to convert from "wav" to "mp3".
because of the amount of retyping and editing per song i wanted to write a program that i can open a text file and read the "tab delimited" data to populate the MP3 file. i tried sample code and libraries but i found that i got the ID3 tags screwed up.
so i need some guidance on where to go from here.
it appears that the third party converter may not be properly creating the ID3 header *space* thus when i attempt to write to the ID3 frame im getting to a point where neither MS can read all the field nor my iTunes.
forget about easily finding a forum for the libraries on the web for some of the *best* libraries for ID3 tags.
what i have been doing is to get my music into MP3 and workable ID3:
1) record the music let the sound card software create the "wav" file.
2) run third party convert to MP3
3) via Windows 7 edit the "detail" tab of the file
this seems to work both MS and iTunes are able to read the ID3 tag correctly and seem to create the correct header *space*.
what is a base to make it so i can create a C# program that can
1) read my text file
2) build the correct supported ID3v2 header
3) allow the program to populate my preferred fields (title, album artist, album, track number)
it seems both MS w7 and itunes use the ID3v2.x.x im not entirely sure which version. ID3v1 does not seem to be used.
