[ID3 Dev] Determining an offset

[Morton, Christopher]

Thanks, Scott. I had no idea it was ID3v1. That ends the discussion.

The code, incidentally, is WinBatch. Don't knock it 'til you try it. I
mean, why struggle with the fine points of astronomical mathematics and
curved space when simple addition and a straight line can quickly solve
a problem?

While I must say that I don't really understand the point of the
question, the 
code you pasted (is that Basic?  Wow, been a while...) is an ID3v1 
implementation, not ID3v2.  ID3v1 is trivially easy since all fields are
of 
fixed length and at the end of the file.  Not surprisingly, there are no

images in ID3v1 tags.
