mp3 names, genre etc.. hmm. you need to understand that this is textual information added to an mp3 file. version 1 tags were 128 bytes long, appended to the end of the file, version 2 tags are variable length, more like xml style markup, and prepended to the beginning of the file.
writing a bit of code to parse the tags(if present.. it is not guaranteed) is re-inventing the wheel; its already been done for you. check out the libraries at www.id3v2.org
