How to read and write ID3 tags to an MP3 in C#?

Question

Is there a library for reading and writing ID3 tags to an MP3 in C#?

I've actually seen a couple when searching, anybody using any that can be recommended?

Answer 1

Here's a sourceforge project that's been written to do this and seems to have some good reviews:

http://csid3lib.sourceforge.net/

I've only ever read ID3 tags, never written them, so I can't comment specifically on that. However, I believe this project (in a much earlier stage) was what I used to do it.

Answer 3

I've personally used ID3.Net from here:

http://id3dotnet.sourceforge.net/

As well as UltraID3Lib from here:

http://home.fuse.net/honnert/hundred/

Both did the job well and were easy to use from an API standpoint.

Answer 4

Taglib# is the best. It's direct port of the TagLib C library to C#. You can find more information on:

There's a release for Windows in their download directory: http://download.banshee-project.org/taglib-sharp/
