Hi,

Check codeproject.com I have seen several articles/code samples regarding
mp3s.

It would help if you check the standard to see how it's stored/calculated

cheers,

not found any for C# which will read MP3 file header

i found old library called strawberry but can't even compile it (many
errors).
Is it the only library which can read MP3 file header ???

I have not tried this before but you can take a look at it:

The code is in VB.NET, however.
