MP3-ID tags.

How can we incorporate Mp3-id tags in a mp3 player?

Experiment with the MP3 > GET PROPERTY action.

If there's anything I can do or offer in assisting you to learn this action better let me know. In general we do not build projects for people unless there is a mitigating factor. This action is very easy to understand and use. You should be able to figure it out in just a couple minutes. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif Using this action you have access to all the aspects of the ID-3 info.

Ive been playing for hours.
Do I create a text box?

I know the code to pull the info is
%MP3Title%
%MP3Time%
%MP3Filename%
ECT

Im just unclear where to start. I have a functional MP3 player, just no display.

There's way more than just that you can do, check out this link:

Try creating a text object and then using a TEXT OBJECT > SET TEXT action to insert those values into your text object, then start tweaking the colors and the "look"... Feel free to ask any follow up questions once you have your text object (not a text box) displaying your info...

When setting the TEXT OBJECT - SET TEXT, I dont get an option to show the (MP3 property) on play, just on mouse click, on mouse over/off. HOw would I overcome this?

Also, what object should be using the MP3.GetProperty attribute? Meaning, on the Text object, Image used to Press play, or the Page Properties?

You need to use the MP3 Property action to set a variable to the value your looking for. Like this:
%Property% = MP3.GetProperty ("Album")

Then set your text obects text to the variable %Property%:
TextObject[Text1].SetText ("%Property%")

As for what to you to get the property, it's going to depend on when you want to display it. I would do in either the Play or Load, but thats me. The best thing about AMS as there are sooo many ways to do things.
