ok Buzz, ive got the tags to be read into memory and the file3 extra to read
the folder contents,
now that ive seen how you approched this ive tried to get the info from the
xtras list (mp3Files) and use that to play
the tracks but im not getting it right.
If i can get at the info in the mp3Files list then it means the projecter
can read any folder i deside to burn on disk with it
and play the tracks, read the tags, all the info is variable but the player
know whats what.
should i queue the tracks in the startmovie handeler?
This is the behavoiur for the track to play:
global mp3Files
-- queues the linked sound --
-- tries to set the filename to the new track --doesent work --
-- returns the name of the second track in the list --
-- returns the name of the origional track 1 , im especting it to return
track 2 file name --
on mouseDown me
sound(2).queue(member"Song1")
set member ("Song1").filename = getat(mp3Files ,2)
put getat(mp3Files,2)
put member ("Song1").filename
end
on mouseup
sound(2).play()
end

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 sound's filename to the dummy streamer's URL
-- perform preLoadBuffer() to get the header (tags) into memory
-- extract the id3Tags
dummyStreamer = new(#swa)
dummyStreamer.URL = member("Song1").filename
dummyStreamer.preLoadBuffer()
put dummyStreamer.id3tags into gSong1List
-- repeat to get the other tags ...
dummyStreamer.stop() -- so you can reset the URL property
dummyStreamer.URL = member("Song2").filename
dummyStreamer.preLoadBuffer()
put dummyStreamer.id3tags into gSong2List
-- when done, throw away the dummy streaming member
dummyStreamer.erase()
