Play Medai Whilst Updating Tags and FileName

[chubbyarsemusic]

Hi All,

I'm developing a small utility which will allow me to take my ever
growing list of Mp3's and update the tags and cover art to upload to
my Mp3 player.Most of my mp3's don't have any tags to go on, and some
don't even have filenames to indicate what they are. To this end I'm
developing and application that will let me browse a list of mp3
files, and one by one:

1) Let me play the mp3 (and provide transport controls to skip
around), so I can identify the track / artist and at least start to
search out the detail.
2) Search for the track information using MusicBrainz web server (done
this bit already).
3) Get any artwork from Amazon Web Service (done this bit already).
4) Write the tag information away and the art work to the mp3 file.
5) Rename the file [Artist] - {TrackName].mp3.

I don't have any experience using media controls - so I wondered how I
would go about playing an mp3 in a WindowsForm, but still be able to
write to the underlying file and rename it?

Is there any way I can load the file into memory and play it from
there? Alternately I could allow the user to search out the details
and then at the point of saving - stop the playback.

Thanks All,
