I've uploaded the class with a short command line demo to the software farm.

Hi Tony,

It is my code. It started off life as part of a cd ripper program I wrote
in 2010 in vb6. It was inspired by code provided by Steve McMahon (
st...@vbaccelerator.com) under an Apache style licence. The code has
since been heavily rewritten, translated to vb.net and finally translated
to gambas.

with the code i was trying to adapt you can't
i was getting strange values eg.
a struct size of 208 when it was meant to be 128 and for some strange
reason get end of file
when seeking to eof less header even if i backed up more than the 208
bytes
i can see that tony didn't right it i should of said did he convert it to
gambas ?
i think this should be in the farm ?

yep can't use structs have to do like tony's code works perfect thanks
again tony
mmmmh are you sure?
p.s is this your code ?
No, but you can easily see who wrote it :)

I've attached an archive containing the code I use to read v1 and v2
MP3
tags and other MP3 info including bitrates (fixed and VBR), sampling
rates
and number of channels. v1 tags are pretty staightforward to read if
you
don't try to read the structure directly, but by each element of the
structure at a time. Some tips:
1) Numeric elements (bytes, bytearrays, shorts, integers, longs) can
be
read directly from the stream. ie (4 byte Integer) = Read #Stream As
Integer. Gambas can handle little endian/big endian issues.
2) Fixed length strings must be handled in a two stage process.
First,
the required string length number of bytes is read into a byte array.
This
byte array is then converted to a string. Sample code:
Dim Bytes As New Byte[StringLength]
Bytes.Read(Stream)
FixedString = Bytes.ToString()
Note: Bytes.ToString stops the string conversion at the first null
or at
the end of the array. Therfore, you don't have to worry about
null-terminated strings.
v2 tags are more complicated, particularly since the tags can be
ascii,
either kind of utf16, or utf8 encoding. The code I sent has been
tested
with over 10,000 mp3 files has seems to have no issues.

thank you Gian i did take a rest and read but alas it did not help
as far as i see it he is saying don't use binary file for fixed
length
strings
but as this is an mp3 file tag witch i have no control i am doomed

I am very confused from the docs
_Variable_ *= READ* [ *#* _Stream_ ] *AS* _Datatype_
_Variable_ *= READ* [ *#* _Stream_ *,* ] _Length_
so wouldn't it be_

IDtag = read #hfile as ID3v1_TAG ?
with doesn't work by the way

is there a way for gambas to read a struct of all these
variables
in one read ?
You may have hinted at the solution within your question.
Have
you
considered
using a Structure?
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/lang/read :
"... reads the stream Stream as binary data whose type is
specified by
the
Datatype argument."
"The returned datatype can be one of the following: NULL,
Boolean,
Byte, Short,
Integer, Long, Pointer, Single, Float, Date, String,
Variant,
any
Array,
Collection or structure."
