I just thought I'd share the fix with everyone. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I better compensate for this binary problem?? It seems my way is a bad fix, and that I should target catching it at the source.
This may help.
Director can extract ID3 tags from .mp3 files. Just link them temporarily to a .swa cast member.
For one project, I built a routine which built a list of a file names from a folder full of mp3s & then linked each .mp3 and extracted it's ID3 tags into an ID3 proplist for each.
Later on, as each filename got linked to a 'regular' sound member so that it's playback could be controlled with a transport UI (play, stop, pause, positional slider, progress indicator, etc.), the extracted tag data was then accessed and displayed.
