So how much effort are you willing to put into your task?
Do you really want to develop, or copy/pasting from anyone's solution is ok for you?
What access restrictions do you suffer from? Can you browse sourceforge, for example?

Let me explain myself. I'm studying an engineering (first year), and I receiving C++ (begineer), I've this task and I really like to learn how to created it, and develop it by myself, because I'll need to explain how I made it. But if I can't understand I can copy the code and ask for help to another people more advanced than me.
Another thing: My bandwidth is less than 1Kb (is not joke 1Kb) to open this page I spend near 20 minutes, so make your own idea.

OK, I see. That does not change the fact that manipulating file tags is not a trivial task which could be explained in a few lines that you could download in a few seconds.
You will have to read. That: taglib-sharp could be a good start to see how file tagging can be done.
Good luck.

Thank for the link,it look good, but I can't check it because:

What's wrong with downloading a tutorial? You can access this site, why not other sites?

Yes, I'm familiar with such things. But the situation is simple: you either have the document or not. If you cannot afford the document, what can you afford, ordering a book printed on paper, paying for the book? and manually copying some definitions from a book to a computer? I would gladly send you the documents you need, but downloading the mail package will be even slower. So, something like downloading overnight can still be the best option.

You know what? I have a batch console-only HTTP downloader which can continue downloading if it was interrupted. I can give it to you in source code (C#). It's flawless, never lost a bit of data, so I was able to download movies. Would it help you?

I really appreciate your interest in help me. I preffer that you send me the documents, I can give you my email, but I don't know if is right to write it in this page, is it safe?, because it is not my own email. I can receive 1-1.5 MB per message, and is faster because I download the information from a national server, not from the internet directly. I can't download overnight because this is a workcenter PC (I don't know if I write it well, I speak spanish) and is not posible to do that.
About the downloader you can send me the code to if you want. I don't know c# but maybe I can use it.

The situation looks difficult...
I never had C++ code; but used to use some .NET library from CodeProject. Actually, ID3 standard is pretty simple (and pretty stupid), so it could probably be possible to put it in 1 MB; I'm not sure.

(By the way, your English is pretty clear to me, with some mistakes.)

A lot of information could be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3.

We can try, but don't publish your e-mail. You can find my direct contact (HTTP only, but you can indicate your e-mail in your message) in my CodeProject profile, where you can find my Web site. Google will show it in first like if you search for "Sergey A Krykov" (exactly in this spelling)...

If you really want to develop a tag editing facility, not copy some existing solution, all you need is this:
http://id3.org[^].

As you can see, I'm not advising to download any tutorial, but, apparently, you cannot develop anything like that without reading any content at all. :-)
