Question

I understand that the MP3 file format essentially consists of two segments, id3 metadata+audio frames. How can I read in binary form, all of the id3 segment and all of the audio frames as two binary blobs? I'm looking to simply perform a hash calculation on the metadata and the audio as two separate units in a file. How can I determine where the "split point" is in the file?
