Hi Bill, Hi folks

I want to script it for several reasons. I know the details about id3  
tags and managed to decode them by a script. But my scripts have some  
problems with embedded covers so I wanted to use what the Finder shows  
in the get info dialog.

The Finder shows artist, year and album from mp3 files. So I hope  
there's a way to "steal" this information...

cheers,
Sven
