So here's the trick that I use: I use a dummy streaming member JUST to get the tags I don't actually play the sound through it, I just extract the tags. Here's how it works: If you haven't already, make your regular sound members into linked members. -- make a dummy streaming member. -- assign the filename of each regular member to the dummy streamer -- perform preLoadBuffer() on it to get the tags into memory -- extract the id3Tags dummyStreamer = new(#swa) dummyStreamer.filename = member("Song1") dummyStreamer.preLoadBuffer() put dummyStreamer.id3tags into gSong1List -- repeat to get the other tags ... dummyStreamer.filename = member("Song2").filename dummyStreamer.preLoadBuffer() put dummyStreamer.id3tags into gSong2List ... -- when done, throw away the dummy streaming member dummyStreamer.erase() hth -Buzz [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
