If you need to understand how MP3 tagging works, take a look at this post:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vb/mp3id3v1.aspx

Basically, MP3 tagging is implemented by adding this data to the final of the MP3 file, the last 128 bits of MP3 files represent this data.

u can find length like below

string strlength = mp3.Properties.Duration.ToString();

Excellent. I was going to make something alike MP3-TagIt, because they stopped developing it. It was the best Tag-manager i've ever used, too bad it's gone now but i can start building an alternative now ^^ so thanks again! this is of great use.
