[QUOTE="hwahrmann, post: 1264344, member: 10391"] Sorry about that. The MusicBrainz... properties do indeed only show specific properties from MB. In order to get the ARtists, you need to get the id3v2tag and then loop through the TXXX frames looking for the "ARTISTS" description. Something like this: [code=csharp]using System; using TagLib; using TagLib.Id3v2; namespace TaglibTest { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { try { TagLib.ByteVector.UseBrokenLatin1Behavior = true; File file = File.Create(@"d:\Downloads\Music\01 - Come Home (Feat. André 3000).mp3"); // Get the Id3v2tag, if the fileis mp3 TagLib.Id3v2.Tag id3v2tag = null; try { if (file.MimeType.Substring(file.MimeType.IndexOf("/") + 1) == "mp3") { id3v2tag = file.GetTag(TagTypes.Id3v2, false) as TagLib.Id3v2.Tag; } } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("File Read: Error retrieving id3tag"); return; } if (id3v2tag != null) { foreach (TagLib.Id3v2.Frame frame in id3v2tag.GetFrames()) { var frameId = frame.FrameId.ToString(); if (frameId == "TXXX" && (frame as UserTextInformationFrame).Description.ToLowerInvariant() == "artists") { // we could have multiple of them foreach (var field in (frame as UserTextInformationFrame).Text) { Console.WriteLine($"MusicBrainzArtist: {field}"); } } } } Console.ReadLine(); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace); Console.ReadLine(); } } } }[/code] [/QUOTE]
