Does it exist something like APE tag reader and writer components for VB6,
(i know, why VB.) i got several projects laying around on my HD
in VB6, and am not so keen translating them.

There are some ID3v2 examples on Planet Source Code and vbAccelerator. You could have a look at the code and try to adapt the frame parser and that sort of things so it works with APEv2, too.

Stupid idea.

Look at the spec and implement an APEv2 TagReader from scratch. The fb2k SDK and Tag source have C/C++ implementations, modelling after them shouldn't be too hard.

The idea is not stupid at all, as it might get him started. The layout of ID3v2 is not so different from APEv2.

I disagree. And I've worked (am working) on an APEv2 parser myself.
