I'm guessing you mean UltraID3lib: http://home.fuse.net/honnert/UltraID3Lib/

Try this for album art:

VB

Dim MP3Tag As New UltraID3
MP3Tag.Read("FilenameHere")

Try
        Dim pics = MP3Tag.ID3v2Tag.Frames.GetFrames(CommonMultipleInstanceID3v2FrameTypes.Picture)
        PIC-albumArt.Image = CType(pics(0), ID3v2PictureFrame).Picture
  Catch ex As Exception
        PIC-albumArt.Image = My.Resources.Lumia_Player_Song
End Try

Hope this helps! ;)
