Hi Sean,
I have a COM question. id3lib says it has a COM wrapper included. In the download it has a folder called "id3com" which... has a lot of files in it. Even if you take out the ones that don't have COM in the name, I end up with 8 files (various extensions). So, I was wondering... how this "COM wrapper" can be converted to AHK x_x |

They are source files, you have to compile them to id3com.dll. |

Ah, I see.
Sorry for my complete ignorance, but I've never done any type of programming besides AHK—so, how exactly do I compile them? =x
Also, how do I use them with AHK COM once they have been compiled? |

Well, register and use it. That's all I can say at this level. |

the download site has pre-compiled windows binaries.
if you don't know how to use them.... why did you want them ?
ps: look at their documentation for API, and use com_invoke() on the com objects.

going in order of what you said:
Ah. I saw one for the normal .dll, but I didn't see one for com... is it the same thing? =x Sorry, I really have no knowledge in this area.
Edit: Nvm on the above. Just did a bit of googling and found an id3com.dll
Because I want to learn how to use them 
Yes, I know that. I meant more along the lines of, will I just be able to invoke it if the .dll is in the same file as the script, or is it necessary to somehow make COM recognize the .dll
And, @ Sean- Register? I know (sort of) how to use it. This "registering" is really what I'm trying to figure out how to do. |

The simplest way is
| Code: | | regsvr32.exe id3com.dll |

Great! Thanks!
Now... I need a little help with syntax >< The help file for id3lib says:
| Quote: | Almost all functionality occurs via an ID3_Tag object. An ID3_Tag object basically encapsulates two things: a collection of ID3_Frame objects and file information. The goal is to populate an ID3_Tag object with ID3_Frame objects, and the easiest way to do this is to associate the tag with a file. This is done primarily via the ID3_Tag constructor, like so:
| Code: | | ID3_Tag myTag("song.mp3"); |
This constructor links, or associates, the object myTag with the file "song.mp3". In doing so, the tagging information from "song.mp3" is parsed and added to myTag. This association can also be accomplished by creating an empty tag and making an explicit call to Link().
| Code: | ID3_Tag myTag;
myTag.Link("song.mp3"); |
|
From guessing and looking at another COM library (the Word functions) I have come up with this, but I know I'm doing something wrong:
| Code: | Run, regsvr32.exe "%A_ScriptDir%\myTunesResource\id3com.dll"
WinWaitActive, RegSvr32
Send, {Enter}
COM_CreateObject("ID3_Tag", "myTag")
COM_Invoke("myTag", "Link=", A_ScriptDir "\Song.mp3") |
Could you give me a little direction? |

You must learn first how to use COM, e.g. in VBScript or JScript. |

I got this ... in short yes
because you need that basic object oriented programing knowledge to underastand these com functions in ahk
and i seriously doubt that sean or any one really has time to teach you OOP in adition to the use of these functions.
here is a short example
| Code: | oIE=CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.Visible=True
|
vb for start an instance of internet explorer and return the application automation pointer then take the object oIE and set the Visible Property to true
as ahk com function
| Code: | oIE := COM_CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
COM_Invoke(oIE, "Visible=", "True") |
these both do the same thing
i hope you can see how the 2 are related
now here is the clincher
most of the documentation for using win32 com interface is written for the c++ vb and js coder so its imperitive that you learn from the documentation in the languages the documentation supports
from there you can make the short leap to Sean's most excelent library
What do ya think sean is that a good break down

Okay, so it should be something more like
| Code: | myTag := COM_CreateObject("ID3_Tag")
COM_Invoke(myTag, "Link=", A_ScriptDir "\Song.mp3") |
Well anyway. I guess I'll just experiment, since I would rather not learn a new language and so far I haven't even been able to get someone to tell me which part of my two COM lines are incorrect ._. And I think I found some VB COM documentation which should be much easier to use than the C++ docs. |

knowing absolutely nothing about the dll i do see a basic syntax isue
| Code: | Run, regsvr32.exe "%A_ScriptDir%\myTunesResource\id3com.dll"
WinWaitActive, RegSvr32
Send, {Enter}
COM_CreateObject("ID3_Tag", "myTag")
COM_Invoke("myTag", "Link=", A_ScriptDir "\Song.mp3") |
should be
| Code: | Run, regsvr32.exe "%A_ScriptDir%\myTunesResource\id3com.dll"
WinWaitActive, RegSvr32
Send, {Enter}
myTag:=COM_CreateObject("ID3_Tag.myTag")
COM_Invoke(myTag, "Link=", A_ScriptDir . "\Song.mp3") |
altho i have a hard time beleiving that mytag is a automation object pointer its usually soemthing like system or application etc
