I found this very helpful post on using the GetDetailsOf method of the shell to read the mp3 data from a file.

(
So I can how get the data such as the artist and album, but how about setting it? Is there an API or something that would allow me to set that data?

Many thanks,
Ken
 
Code:
...
fl.title = aTitle 
fl.Artist = aArtist
fl.AlbumTitle = aAlbumTitle
fl.Genre = aGenre
...
 
Well, THAT'S embarassing, I put the wrong link in my post!
When I tried the FileSystm object I was getting "Object doesn't support this propery or method" errors with title, artist, album and genre so I linked to THIS post:


which explains the GetDetailsOf method.

Is there something I'm missing with the FileSystem object? I've tried the code posted here:
in both VB and VBA but both error as I mention above.

You can't change these with the Explorer properties, so maybe there is not counterpart to the GetDetailsOf method.
