Does it work for ID3v2 headers as well? Also, out of curiosity, why does file require an ID3 header to determine information which is not stored in the ID3 header? I don't have a 3.7 box handy to check this on, so if it works in 3.7, ignore this output: % uname -a OpenBSD host2 3.4 GENERIC#18 i386 % file foo.mp3 foo.mp3: data % uname -a FreeBSD host1 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 21 21:39:07 PST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HOST1 i386 % file foo.mp3 foo.mp3: MP3 file with ID3 version 2.2.0 tag Tim
