Reading MP3 Tags with Silverlight

Does anyone know a library that I can use to read MP3 tags in Silverlight 3? In WPF, I used taglib, but obviously I can't reference it in Silverlight projects.

Taglib does not contain any unsafe codes. Perhaps you can recompile it (maybe a few minor changes) to work in silverlight.

Have you tried using only Taglib code? There is a decent chance that it will work without much hassle.

Edit: Yes, I mean TagLib #. I just tried it and there are a few minor issues that could be fixed in 15 minutes. (You will need to define ICloneable, remove a bunch of unnecessary Serialization constructors for exceptions, delete the last parameter in string.Split (char [], int), more on that.)

Please note that if someone else has not fixed it, there is a small error in the Taglib # Id3v2 unsync code. You can ignore it and not parse multiple id3v2 tags, or you can use the same workaround: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593138#c4 - I know, I have to submit a patch, but time and everything ...
