<head></head><body>I recently became added to this system of emails, and I am trying to write a program to find duplicates in MP3's. I wish to only take into consideration the actual song data, not bytes of any tags. Therefore, how do I find the first byte in the file of actual song data, ie the first byte of the first frame? I want to be able to detect duplicates that have different tags but are the exact same audio information. Also, to make the program faster, I would like to know where to find certain info such as bitrate, length in seconds, etc, so when I am scanning my 100000 song library I don't have to check bytes if the songs are obviously dissimilar. Thanks very much. Oh, and I mostly do VB 6, though I do know some C++, so if you are going to talk about file I/O stuff please refer to VB if you can.<br><br>Silas<br></body>
