Don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this, but since this is THE audio board, I figured I'd start here.

Starting a project soon, and I'll be needing libid3 for it. Compiling under OSX, Linux, etc, no problem. But the libid3 libraries have to be the most Windows-unfriendly libraries I've yet seen. Has anyone been able to compile them with Visual Studio? If so, how? I'm pretty buggered right now.

Or is there a better, more feature-rich, and Windows-friendly library similar to libid3?

Thanks so much for any help!

edit: found id3lib which compiled without a hitch.

Do you have correspond libz.dsp for compiling libid3,I think you must built a project libz.dsp using zlib 1.1.4.tar

many *NIX programs have switched to taglib for metadata:

it is maintained by a KDE dev
