How to get access to the metaproperties of a file (aspecially a mp3 file) with vba

I'm creating an excel-sheets that reads the tags from the MP3-files situated in a folder. Yet the tim开发者_运维百科e apparently is or calculated from data inside the MetaProperties of a file or is inside those data. When I use the Property MetaProperties VBA always provokes an error, even in using a copy of the example in adapting the appropiate data. Thanx in advance for your solution.

Does this help?

You didn't say what metadata you want, but this method offers a lot of information.

MP3's do not use MetaProperties at all. They actually use the last 256 bytes of the file to store album, track, etc information (the ID3 tag).

See here http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-structure for more information.
