They files I am talking about are big fat uncompressed wav files. Which as you probably know are RIFF format files with industry standard headers and identifiable chunks / labels
The beginning of the file is pretty standard RIFF format stuff, but the last chunk in the file has all sorts of good info in a chuck called id3_. The underscore in this case represents white space since RIFF tags must contain 4 byes.
So anyway if you search through the wav file with a hex utility like xvi32, and find the id3_ tag, you will find right after that several other tags that have artist, album, genre, track# track title, track length, even the album art in jpeg format is in there. I can give you the gory details on the tags etc if you want.
So what I am looking for is a way to import this info into the MC database. I am somewhat handy with perl so I could probably go that route if I knew the format of the MC database, but I am sure a real SW person could do a much better job than I, and I think it would be a handy utility for us X-MusicMatchers.
At any rate let me know what you think. I am willing to help in any way I can.
Thanks,
John
