UltraID3Lib...
Be aware that UltraID3Lib is no longer officially available, and thus no longer maintained. See comments below for the link to a Github project that includes this library
//using HundredMilesSoftware.UltraID3Lib;
UltraID3 u = new UltraID3();
u.Read(@"C:\mp3\song.mp3");
//view
Console.WriteLine(u.Artist);
//edit
u.Artist = "New Artist";
u.Write();
I wrapped mp3 decoder library and made it available for .net developers. You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpg123net/
Included are the samples to convert mp3 file to PCM, and read ID3 tags.
TagLib Sharp is pretty popular.
As a side note, if you wanted to take a quick and dirty peek at doing it yourself.. here is a C# snippet I found to read an mp3's tag info.
class MusicID3Tag
{
public byte[] TAGID = new byte[3]; // 3
public byte[] Title = new byte[30]; // 30
public byte[] Artist = new byte[30]; // 30
public byte[] Album = new byte[30]; // 30
public byte[] Year = new byte[4]; // 4
public byte[] Comment = new byte[30]; // 30
public byte[] Genre = new byte[1]; // 1
}
string filePath = @"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample Music\041105.mp3";
using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(filePath))
{
if (fs.Length >= 128)
{
MusicID3Tag tag = new MusicID3Tag();
fs.Seek(-128, SeekOrigin.End);
fs.Read(tag.TAGID, 0, tag.TAGID.Length);

ID3.NET implemented ID3v1.x and ID3v2.3 and supports read/write operations on the ID3 section in MP3 files. There's also a NuGet package available.
