Hey guys, I'm currently working on a music management-type software on visual basics that will allow the user to load a database full of mp3 files and filter through them by not only the song title but by other information stored in an ID3 tag such as the artist and bpm.

How would you recommend the best way of implementing this? Working with ID3 tags is really difficult.

If anybody has any suggestions as to the database I could use for the tracks I'd also be appreciative :)

Thanks for your help

Any database will provide all the features you need: SQL Compact Edition, SQLite, MSAccess etc. You can learn about ID tags by following some of the links at https://www.google.com/search?q=id3%20tags[^].

Long time ago, I quite successfully used one of these libraries, it as easy. Sorry, I cannot retrieve more detail in this work.
