PictureBox1.Image = myMp3.Tag2.Artwork

says Argument Not Specified for Parameter ‘argFrameSize’ of ‘PublicFunctionArtwrok(argFrameSize as Integer) As System.Drawing.Image’

I’ve been trying for days to figure this out and I cant find any legitimate Vb code . I gave up on UltraId3Lib for this task.

Can I get a full TO DO list and/or sample code to just get the album artwork in Vb.net 2010?? Please and Thank you

I can load the dll using:

m_hInstLibrary = LoadLibrary(“ID3TagLibrary.dll”);
if (m_hInstLibrary == NULL)
{
FreeLibrary(m_hInstLibrary);
MessageBox(“LoadLibrary Failed!”);
exit(1);
}

But, I can’t access the internal functions.
Is this because it’s a VB DLL ?

Thanks in advance.

THANKS for your style of programming too! I’m from the VB6 format and this .NET is foreign sometimes but i get it with good style… http://planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/BrowseCategoryOrSearchResults.asp?lngWId=10&txtCriteria=ID3 by Herbert N Swearengen << this is how i first saw ID3 LOL!

Try
For Each mDirectory As IO.DirectoryInfo In mNodeDirectory.GetDirectories
…
Next
For Each mFile As IO.FileInfo In mNodeDirectory.GetFiles
…
Next
Catch ex As UnauthorizedAccessException
‘ Change node name to let know the user that he/she desn’t have enough permissions to list that directory
e.Node.Text = e.Node.Text & ” *Insufficient privilieges.*”
End Try

Now the control doesn’t throw any exception to the user, and he can know why he can’t list that particular directory.

Thanks again and best regards to all!

I came upon your project because it is mentioned on the website of id3.org
(http://www.id3.org/Implementations), which, I suppose, is an honor. Thank you very much for making your library available to all. I was up and running within an hour. This is how I coded it in C#:

// create an mp3 object
ID3TagLibrary.MP3File mp3 = new ID3TagLibrary.MP3File(fullfilename);
// fill some text boxes
txtArtiest.Text = mp3.Artist;
txtTitel.Text = mp3.Title;
txtGenre.Text = mp3.Genre;
txtAlbum.Text = mp3.Album;
// grab image (by iterating over the frames)
foreach (ID3TagLibrary.ID3v2Tag.FrameBase frame in mp3.Tag2.Frames)
{
if ((frame.ID == “APIC”) || (frame.ID == “PIC”))
{
// put picture in image box on the form
pictureBox1.Image = mp3.Tag2.Artwork(frame.Index));
// stop iterating over frames
break;
}
}
// done

(In practice, you would like to scale the image to your pictureBox. For the sake of simplicity I omitted that part).

As for the wishlist:

When a picture is large, winmm.dll (the Windows Media Control) fails (when I pass it the command “play”). However, you can pass it the command “play from xxx”, where xxx is the start position of the usable part of your file (or any other part, e.g. if you would like to fast forward your mp3). I suppose that would do the job. However, to issue the command “play from xxx”, one needs to know the offset. If you could incorporate a function in your library that would retrieve the offset, I would be very grateful.

Kind regards, and thanks so much,
