A way to display *.mp3 tags

[xitsa]

You can try this mp3toion, which now use first parameter as a template:

Code:

mp3ToIon.exe "%2 -- %1 of %4"

Didn't tested though

Thank you very much xitsa. As I am not familiar with code it took a while till I understood how to change the update.bat but it works.

To make me completely happy it would be nice to have the technical details like bitrate too. ;-)
This I found: http://www.dsdt.info/tipps/?id=349

Is there someone who knows enough about Delphi and has a developer kit, to do this?

Hi xitsa,

Didn't tested though 

As I told before principally it works for me.
But there is a bug.
If there is nor Track-number in the ID-Tag the year is not read properly.

Would a utility like this be able to display the video resolution of an avi/divx file?

I use this one: http://shounen.ru/soft/avinfo/doc_ru.shtml Try it.. =)

Some description in couple rows:
AVInfo is an utility for displaying AVI, MPEG, OGG/OGM, MKV, IFO header information. It returns the length of a clip, FPS, resolution, codecs, sound parameters, and the number, type and language of the streams, including detailed information for each of the following resolution, length, fps...

Take a look at the samples here http://shounen.ru/soft/avinfo/sample.shtml

As I noticed there is another problem using mp3toion and a problem with HFS reading descript.ion-files, created by mp3toion.

Mp3toion doesn't read tags with german special characters correctly.

Example MP3:
Bläck Fööss - Dat Wasser vun Kölle.mp3

Descript.ion created by mp3toion:
"Bl¤ck Fææss - Dat Wasser vun Kælle.mp3" Interpret: Bl¤ck Fææss # Songtitel: Dat Wasser vun Kælle # Album: Viva Express # Track-Nr.: 0

Because of the corrupted characters in descript.ion HFS displays nothing at all.

Hey guys, this seems to be huge

Why not just incorporate the functionality directly into HFS rather than using this external program to generate the file.
Just have it so that if there is no descript.ion entry for the mp3 file to show the tags from it.

[rejetto]

hfs should not handle everything.
instead, hfs could be configured to call the utility through macro {.exec.}
if something is required for this, i may help.

Hi everybody!

I took me the time and created my own Program to create Description for *.mp3 files.
it displays:
Artist - Album - Title - Bitrate - Audiomode - Playtime - genre

simply select a starting folder and it goes thru all subfolder and creates new Descript.ion file.
due to i wanted to have bitrate and playtime it takes some time to go thru all files...

 Please deactivate <use OEM for description> in the Menu.

Hallo allerseits!

Ich habe mir mal die Zeit genommen und mein eigenes Programm für die Erstellung der Descript.ion für MP3 Dateien erstellt.
Es zeigt an Künstler - Titel - Bitrate - Stereo/Mono - Abspieldauer
Einfach das programm starten und das Startverzeichnis auswählen, es geht von dort aus selbstständig durch alle Unterverzeichnisse und erstelle die Descript.ion. Bitte deaktiviere "use OEM for Description" im Menue
