An alternative to this is

<?php
function readID3($filename)
{
    $mp3 = $filename;
    $genre_arr = array("Blues", "Classic Rock", "Country", "Dance", "Disco", "Funk", "Grunge", "Hip-Hop", "Jazz", "Metal", "New Age", "Oldies", "Other", "Pop", "R&B", "Rap", "Reggae", "Rock", "Techno", "Industrial", "Alternative", "Ska", "Death Metal", "Pranks", "Soundtrack", "Euro-Techno", "Ambient", "Trip-Hop", "Vocal", "Jazz+Funk", "Fusion", "Trance", "Classical", "Instrumental", "Acid", "House", "Game", "Sound Clip", "Gospel", "Noise", "AlternRock", "Bass", "Soul", "Punk", "Space", "Meditative", "Instrumental Pop", "Instrumental Rock", "Ethnic", "Gothic", "Darkwave", "Techno-Industrial", "Electronic", "Pop-Folk", "Eurodance", "Dream", "Southern Rock", "Comedy", "Cult", "Gangsta", "Top 40", "Christian Rap", "Pop/Funk", "Jungle", "Native American", "Cabaret", "New Wave", "Psychadelic", "Rave", "Showtunes", "Trailer", "Lo-Fi", "Tribal", "Acid Punk", "Acid Jazz", "Polka", "Retro", "Musical", "Rock & Roll", "Hard Rock", "Folk", "Folk-Rock", "National Folk", "Swing", "Fast Fusion", "Bebob", "Latin", "Revival", "Celtic", "Bluegrass", "Avantgarde", "Gothic Rock", "Progressive Rock", "Psychedelic Rock", "Symphonic Rock", "Slow Rock", "Big Band", "Chorus", "Easy Listening", "Acoustic", "Humour", "Speech", "Chanson", "Opera", "Chamber Music", "Sonata", "Symphony", "Booty Bass", "Primus", "Porn Groove", "Satire", "Slow Jam", "Club", "Tango", "Samba", "Folklore", "Ballad", "Power Ballad", "Rhythmic Soul", "Freestyle", "Duet", "Punk Rock", "Drum Solo", "Acapella", "Euro-House", "Dance Hall");
    $filesize = filesize($mp3);
    $file = fopen($mp3, "r");
    fseek($file, -128, SEEK_END);
    $tag = fread($file, 3);
    if($tag == "TAG")
    {
        $data["Song"] = fread($file, 30);
        $data["Artist"] = fread($file, 30);
        $data["Album"] = fread($file, 30);
        $data["Year"] = fread($file, 4);
        $data["Comment"] = fread($file, 30);
        $data["Genre"] = $genre_arr[ord(fread($file, 1))];
        
    }
    else
        return("MP3 file does not have any ID3 tag!");
    fclose($file);
    while(list($key, $value) = each($data))
    {
        echo("$key: $value<br>\r\n");    
    }
}
?>

It's a bit more code but does the job fine.
