How to get meta data out of mp3 files

Can anyone recommend a good standalone class (not part of PEAR) or another method for me to grab some basic meta data from about 开发者_Python百科1,400 MP3 files?

http://getid3.sourceforge.net/

Works with both ID3 v1 and V2. Reads more than just id3 but should fit the bill. You can also play with the following taken from http://www.htmlhelpcentral.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=12006

<? 
class CMP3File { 
 var $title;var $artist;var $album;var $year;var $comment;var $genre; 
 function getid3 ($file) { 
  if (file_exists($file)) { 
   $id_start=filesize($file)-128; 
   $fp=fopen($file,"r"); 
   fseek($fp,$id_start); 
   $tag=fread($fp,3); 
   if ($tag == "TAG") { 
    $this->title=fread($fp,30); 
    $this->artist=fread($fp,30); 
    $this->album=fread($fp,30); 
    $this->year=fread($fp,4); 
    $this->comment=fread($fp,30); 
    $this->genre=fread($fp,1); 
    fclose($fp); 
    return true; 
   } else { 
    fclose($fp); 
    return false; 
   } 
  } else { return false; } 
 } 
} 
?>
