Question

Given an audio file (mp3 or wav), is here a way to get the duration, size (in bytes) and other other attributes of the file?

Thanks

For file size FileInfo would be worth looking at

System.IO.FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(string filename);
long fileSize = file.Length;

This gets you the file size

and to get attributes like Hidden status. something like the following can get it

  if (file.Attributes & System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden == System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden)
  {
       // hidden file
  }

I second the NAudio library for finding the duration of a track [in seconds]
