How can I check that getID3() works on my server/files?:
Unzip getID3() to a directory, then access /demos/demo.browse.php

See /demos/demo.basic.php for a very basic use of getID3() with no fancy output, just scanning one file.
For an example of a complete directory-browsing, file-scanning implementation of getID3(), please run /demos/demo.browse.php

See /demos/demo.mysql.php for a sample recursive scanning code that scans every file in a given directory, and all sub-directories, stores the results in a database and allows various analysis / maintenance operations.

See /demos/demo.write.php for how to write tags.
