Reading id3 tags

marley hoare's icon

Im currently working on a uni project to create an application within max. Part of it i will need max to read Id3 tags pulled from and mp3 which would then determine from its genre an appropriate still or moving image, is there any possibility of max doing this? or would i have to look into other coding applications such as c++? any help or advice would be great as i have only been using max for a couple months
