Question

thanks and advance....

Answer 1

Have a look at getID3 : http://getid3.sourceforge.net/

Answer 2

There is a PECL extension and a PEAR package for ID3 tags:

• http://de.php.net/manual/en/book.id3.php
• http://pear.php.net/package/MP3_IDv2

For getting the files out of the folder, have a look around SO, as it has been covered multiple times. You likely want to glob() all MP3 files. Or use a DirectoryIterator in case you want to check by MimeType instead of extension.
