You need to know about file interface. The testfile you gave is neither a file object nor a file-like object but a string while the function ID3v2 expects a file or file-like object. In short, ID3v2 tries to call testfile.seek() which doesn't exists. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
