Using taglib-sharp and OleDb, I'm attempting to index a folder of music files and store all the metadata from said files in an Access Database (I'll probably switch to SQL Compact or something later but the book I have uses Access). The below code should retrieve and store the metadata of the first 1000 files in a given folder and subfolders
OleDbCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();
DirSearch(@"C:\Users\Stephen\Music");
TagLib.File tagFil;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
tagFil = TagLib.File.Create(filesFound[i]);
string album = tagFil.Tag.Album;
string artist = tagFil.Tag.FirstPerformer;
string title = tagFil.Tag.Title;
if (album == null)
album = "Unknown Album";
if (artist == null)
artist = "Unknown Artist";
if (title == null)
title = "Unknown Track";
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Track (Title,Artist,Album,Path) VALUES ('" + title + "','" + artist + "','" + album + "','" + filesFound[i] + "')";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
The problem, however, occurs when one of the tags has a bracket in the title. I can see why this would cause a problem but not how to solve/avoid it. I have tried string literals etc but couldn't see how they would work (they don't :/). Any better ideas?
