Try the following code.
You'll need to add a reference to Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation which is under the COM tab:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using Shell32; using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
class Program {        [STAThread]        static void Main()        {            string filePath = @"C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music\Kalimba.mp3"; // use full path here            ShowFileDetails(filePath);            Console.ReadKey();        }
static void ShowFileDetails(string filePath)        {            if(!File.Exists(filePath))            {                Console.WriteLine("File doesn't exist");                return;            }
Shell sh = new Shell32.Shell();            Folder f = sh.NameSpace(Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath));            FolderItem fi = f.ParseName(Path.GetFileName(filePath));            List headers = new List ();
for (int i = 0; i            {                string header = f.GetDetailsOf(null, i);                if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(header))break;                headers.Add(header);            }
for (int i = 0; i            {                string value = f.GetDetailsOf(fi, i);                if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) continue;                if (value[0] > 126) value = value.Substring(1);                Console.WriteLine("{0,3} {1} : {2}", i, headers[i], value);
}
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(fi);            Marshal.ReleaseComObject(f);            Marshal.ReleaseComObject(sh);        } }
