ID3v2 Library

Hi, I am moving from Delphi 7 to D2005. I have been using James Webb's great ID3v2
library (www.audioxl.com/id3v2lib.html) but unfortunately he's only
released DCUs up to D7. There's been no updates for a couple of years, and
he hasn't replied to my email, so not sure if he's still around. I'm
wondering if anyone has a D2005 version of this library, or if not whether
they can recommend another ID3v2 tag library, preferably something
cheap/opensource/freeware?? Needs to be fully ID3v2 compliant.
Thanks,
Michael

I've never used the components, nor do I know something about them, but I
see that DCU files have been released for free, while source code is
available for purchase. Is there a reason you don't want to buy the source
code?
Here is the order link, which I have found on Author's web site:
shareit1.element5.com/programs.html

Re:ID3v2 Library

Yeah I noticed that. I am not sure what would happen if I did that though -
as I said, I haven't been able to get in touch with the author and seems the
web site hasn't changed in a couple of years. Do you know whether ShareIt
would keep their own copy of the source, or whether they just process the
transaction and notify the author to send it out? I guess I am a bit
concerned that I might pay, but not end up with the source! I also don't
really have much of a budget to work with on this, so would rather not buy
something, particularly something that is no longer supported. Unless of
course that is what everyone thinks is my best option...
Thanks for the reply,
Michael

Have you looked at other ID3v2 libraries that do exist? There is a
component in the JVCL, found in the non-visual tab. Also, doing a search on
www.torry.net for "ID3" returns four components, one of them is marked as
ID3v2 and another ID3v3.

There are some code to deal with ID3V1 and ID3V2 in the JVCL:
jvcl.sourceforge.net/
The JVCL is an opensource library distributed subject to the Mozilla

Jurgen Faul's "Audio Tools Library" at mac.sourceforge.net/atl/
supports D2005 & has tags for almost all the other audio formats.
Comes with a working example & open source (GNU LGPL).
It's as easy to use as
FileTag: TID3v2;
FileTag := TID3v2.Create;
Title := FileTag.Title;
Artist := FileTag.Artist;
Album := FileTag.Album;
FileTag.Free;

Re:ID3v2 Library

Hi
Last night I switched to JVCL ID3v1 and ID3v2 tag library. For me it worked
perfectly.
I rather mention that I only use the basic parts of the ID3v3 tags like
title, album, genre, track no etc.
