We'll use CMake to create a Visual Studio project file for the TagLib source so we can envoke the Visual Studio compiler. Weird, eh?

First, make sure you have Visual Studio 2010 and the Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 installed. Then use the CMake Win32 Installer from here. You should click ‘add to PATH’ when installing CMake (thanks Steve!).

TagLib has Zlib as a dependency. Get the taglib and zlib source code and unzip/untar and move them around to set up this structure: 

c:\taglib
c:\taglib\taglib
c:\taglib\zlib

Now paste this script (originally from here and tweaked) into c:\taglib\build_taglib.cmd and run it:

Now set up your project to use it! First, add the lib to your project .pro file so the code gets linked in: 

<code>win32 {
	CONFIG(Debug, Debug|Release) {
		win32:LIBS += "C:/taglib/taglib/taglib/Debug/x86/tagd.lib"
	} else {
		win32:LIBS += "C:/taglib/taglib/taglib/Release/x86/tag.lib"
	}
}</code>

Now include the header right before you use it - don't forget the #define or it won't be happy: 

<code>#define TAGLIB_STATIC
#include "taglib/taglib/include/taglib.h"
#include "taglib/taglib/include/mpegheader.h"
#include "taglib/taglib/include/mpegfile.h"

TagLib::MPEG::File file(str_song_filename.toStdString().c_str()); 
file.strip();
file.save();
// etc. or whatever...
</code>

Now build it on up! Have fun with it!
