Calculating audio duration without WMP control

[kimiraikkonen]

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's another way of calcuting an MP3's duration
in seconds without being forced to use WMP control. Because i need
this info for a class library that i cannot use WMP control in a class
library (dll) project. Is there a native .NET way to determine?

Thanks

Something I found quickly with Google:

It might work directly or at least it shows how to approach the problem.
