[ID3 Dev] Determining an offset

[Morton, Christopher]

Hello,

Please consider the following code (the language doesn't matter) for a
routine that dumps ID3v2 tag data into Excel. As you do, note the binary
offset numbers. My question is, what might be the offset number where
the "album art" flag (1/0) is located? That's a pressing matter for this
exercise (and that's what it is)-to determine if a given MP3 has 1) been
tagged and 2) if the metadata includes (YES/NO) the album JPG. Thanks.

;;START CODE
;; BinaryPeekStr extracts a string from a binary buffer (handle, offset,
maxsize)
;; BinaryPeek returns the 8-bit value of a byte from a binary buffer

bb = BinaryAlloc(150)
ThisFile = ItemExtract(FileIndex, List, @TAB)
size = FileSize(ThisFile)
BinaryReadEx(bb, 0, ThisFile, size - 128, 128)
id3 = BinaryPeekStr(bb, 0, 3)
If id3 == "TAG" 

song_title = StrTrim(BinaryPeekStr(bb, 3, 30))
DDEPoke(channel1, "R%row%C2", song_title)
      
artist_name = StrTrim(BinaryPeekStr(bb, 33, 30))
DDEPoke(channel1, "R%row%C3", artist_name)
   	
 album_name = StrTrim(BinaryPeekStr(bb, 63, 30))
DDEPoke(channel1, "R%row%C4", album_name)

album_label = "Not Present"
DDEPoke(channel1, "R%row%C5", album_label)

album_pub_date = StrTrim(BinaryPeekStr(bb, 93, 4))
DDEPoke(channel1, "R%row%C6", album_pub_date)
      
 album_type_desc = "Not Present"
 DDEPoke(channel1, "R%row%C7", album_type_desc)

genre = StrTrim(BinaryPeek(bb, 127))
DDEPoke(channel1, "R%row%C8", genre)
