I recall working with a helliker class several years ago. Here's a code snippet from way back if anyone is interested and can find the class: <CFOBJECT type="JAVA" action="CREATE" name="MP3File" class="helliker.id3.MP3File"> <CFSET ret = MP3File.init("C:\MP3\test.mp3")> <CFOUTPUT> Exists? #MP3File.id3v1Exists()#<BR> Is MP3? #MP3File.isMP3()#<BR> File Size? <CFSET sizeMB = Round(((MP3File.getFileSize()/ 1024)/1024))>#sizeMB# MB<BR> File Name? #MP3File.getFileName()#<BR> Play Time? #MP3File.getPlayingTimeString()#<BR> Bitrate? #MP3File.getBitRate()#<BR> </CFOUTPUT> A search for helliker turns up this sourceforge MP3/ID3 project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jd3lib/ -- Steven Erat http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
