Decoding MP3 file labels

[aloha]

Aloha:When you move your mouse over an MP3 file, you will see a box showing the file's labels such as Artist, Album Title, Track Number and Size, etc. If we upload the MP3 file using <input type=file name=upload>, can we use JavaScript to extract the above labels? How can that be done? If it cannot be done with JavaScript, is there any way to extract the labels with a server script?Thank you for any advice! Cheers!

Javascript won't do, but I found something interesting to try, as you said, a server-side script (PHP): http://datacompression.info/MP3.shtmlScroll down to Non-Commercial Libraries and check getID3(). Not only for MP3 files... I did not test it yet though.

Thank you very much for referring me to a fine resource!
