Right, where do I start.....
I have coded my own front-end for a car pc project. I was reading mp3 information, artist, title, etc. using someone else .dll file. I found this to be pretty slow, so I decided to try and code my own. I found out about shell32.dll and the .getdetailsof( command and used it.
The code works fine on my desktop PC, but when using my software in the van, it doesn't display any information. I have also noticed that on my desktop PC I can right click an mp3 file and go properties, summary, advanced and see all the file info, title, artist, album, smaple rate etc. but in the van, there is no info in the summary.
I have XP home on my desktop pc and XP pro in the van, both have the latest updates, but I have noticed that the version of shell32.dll on my desktop pc is 6.0.2900.3241, whereas in the van it is an earlier version, something like 6.0.2900.32xx. Surely this can't be the problem, can it?
Do I need anything else installed on the computer, like iTunes, that help Windows 'see' this extra information within and mp3 file?
Any help would be much appreciated
