Read here:

It's easier if you use a class library for editing ID3 tags of media files. The link above has a few examples.

thanks ,
i using TagLib Sharp with C# but i don't know how can i access to music picture and showing it .

do you know how i access to picture of music files ?

That depends on the Library you are using.

You will have to read the documentation on TagLib Sharp, read the info on how to Implement get the picture information.

i can't use this code :

TagLib.File file = TagLib.File.Create((FilePath); //FilePath is the audio file location

                TagLib.IPicture pic=file.Tag.Pictures[0];  //pic contains data for image.



                MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(pic.Data.Data);  /create an in memory stream

              Image im = new Image();


              BitmapFrame bmp = BitmapFrame.Create(stream);

              im.Source = bmp;

1) i don't know how can i use BitmapFrame , actually where is it :D ?
2) i can't find a method like "Source" in "Image" library .

Can you give me an example form this ?

[charlybones]

Try doing something like this:

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(pic.Data.Data);  //create an in memory stream
Bitmap image = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromStream(stream);
PictureBox1.Image = image; //then you have to display the image in a picture box....
PictureBox1.Show();

Remember, you have to create PictureBox1 using the toolbox, (or declaring a new one by yourself using code)...

For info on PictureBox class read here:
