#VBA TO READ FILE DETAILS HOW TO#
The following code illustrates how to obtain a File object and how to view one of its properties. Right now this saves me a lot of keyboarding.Provides access to all the properties of a file. I'll play around with the other routines later - especially one which looks API driven and may be more comprehensive.
Since most of the audio files are MP3 this will do a lot of the heavy lifting. I thought it would be slow but worked faster than expected! That routine follows what another answerer said here about picking apart the MP3. Googling will also get you other example to start from.ĭaniel Pineault, 2010-2012 Microsoft MVP I'm sure there's are APIs somewhere I can expose MSAccess to which will save me from having to dig that info out that way. I'd like something a little more comprehensive that will also handle WMA, M4G, ACC, etc. Yet I'll keep this info for future reference. And the downside is the performance hit I'd get trying to read a large MP3 to the end. Wow, there it is! LOL I'm ignorant of the MP3 file structure. With a little string manipulation you can get the needed information. What I do is read the whole mp3 file in a string variable and split of the last 128 characters. You do not need Objects or Axtive X applications to read that information. For most mp3 files the TAG are the last 128 bytes of the files. The additional information of mp3-files is written in the TAG. And I'd like sample code that will allow me to extract this information. I just can't find the information I need to get started. I'm sure there is a type library I need to expose Access VBA to. With all that describing information in the database, I am (but that is personal) not interested any more in the "per definition very limited information" in the TAG, but from then on only use the information in the database, that can be extended or refined I used my "quick and dirty" method to transfer the TAG information to a database to have a "start". If you want to manipulate the music itself, I can imagine that it is very handy to use more appropriate tools, and I would follow your line of thinking.
#VBA TO READ FILE DETAILS SOFTWARE#
Maybe it's really easier to use some kind of automation of some software which alreadyĪndrey V Artemyev | Saint-Petersburg, Russia In may end up with same crazy code as EXIF data reading does. Of course, binary access to file and the result manipulation is the best way but not in terms of efforts. +AFAIK, it is for MP3 only, but what about WMA etc.? It requires at least 2 algorithms: for v1 (header=TAG) and v2 (header=TAG+).
Do you mean ID3? In this case this may be a kind of help
