hi, ive tried using the Windows Media Player control to get the duration of a
song, but it comes up with "00:00" when the song is longer than this. How can
i calculate the duration of the song? thanks

Hi,

        You can get if from the mp3 tag.

If you don't want to install the Windows SDK just to get to the MPEG data,
check out my free ID3/MPEG library, UltraID3Lib.  It not only reads all of
the MPEG data, including length, but it's a full ID3 tag editor as well.
(The irony of Ken's post is that I read that same article soon after it came
out and became so frustrated with the Windows Media SDK's interface to the
ID3 tag data that I decided to write my own library.)
