MP3 tagging in java?

1 New Member
I do a lot of work with MP3s and file conversions, and I wrote a program to make life a lot easier when I want to rename a bunch of files a certain way. I just realized it would be great to be able to edit the MP3 tags, too.

For example, if I tell my program to rename the file

Track01.mp3

in

stuff/morestuff/Coffee House 2008

to

Our New Song.mp3

it would be great if it would also take this newly renamed 'Our New Song.mp3' and set its Title tag to be "Our New Song" and its album tag to be "Coffee House 2008."

I'm not asking for any specific code...but where can I find information that would let me learn how to access, at all, the tag information for mp3s?

Thanks

You can try looking at this http://sourceforge.net/projects/massid3lib it should give you an idea of what you need to do. Then you can port it to Java.
