Did you import the required library classes? Is the library -whichever one that is- in your classpath?

[laura spain]

yes i did!

What is the classpath you are using? What is the exact wording of the rror message. Please post the text; many people find screenshots difficult to read.

The MP3File class has no method to get the ID3 tag. You will have to find which class that method is in. It has however got methods to get the artist, etc, so you might get it to work by calling mp3.getArtist() or similar.

You’re welcome

Have you worked out how to find the documentation for that class, and how to read it?
