I am in the process of writing classes to catalog my mp3 collection. I am almost there, I got the class that can read info from and mp3 (tag info, bitrate etc.)and it works as expected. Unfortunately, when I brought all the classes home to continue working on them it could not read the ID3 tags anymore. At work I am using winNT 4.0 and win 98 at home. I didn't change anything on the way home, the paths are set correctly. The class is able to read the bitrate, sample rate, track length. but nothing from the ID3 tag. I thought java was supposed to be platform independent. BTW I Know the mp3 has tag info, because winamp verified that it did and besides I was using the same test mp3 at home and at work.<br><br><br>Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.<br><br> <p> fenris<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
