I am trying to read the ID3 tags from mp3 files. I know ID3v1 is the last
128 bytes of an mp3, and that tag info is preceeded by TAG. So I think I
know where to look.
I can open up an mp3 (small sample) in notepad and ultraedit (hex view) and
can see the test tags I have created with winamp.

I have tried to load the sample.mp3 as plain text into a memo control just
to see the contents.

I have tried to load the sample.mp3 as plain text into a memo control just
to see the contents. And it doesnt load properly.

All I get is this:

in notepad i get the full file:

 I want to search the last 128 bytes for the media info, but it doesnt load
into the memo properly. Any ideas?

TIA for any help
