Issue Summary
I just created these installation instructions, perhaps you want to include this in the module to help people install this module.
Install
-------
1. Place the entire getid3 folder into your modules folder (sites/all/modules is
the usual location).
2. Create a new folder inside this folder so that it looks like this:
sites/all/modules/getid3/getid3/
3. Go to http://www.getid3.org/ and download the latest stable version.
4. Copy the folder getid3 from the downloaded zip-file to the folder you just created.
Now it should look like this: sites/all/modules/getid3/getid3/getid3/
Inside this folder you should see a lot of php-files.
5. Go to Administer -> Site building -> Modules and enable the GetID3 module.
6. Go to Administer -> Settings -> getID3. If you see the version you just downloaded,
the module is installed correctly.

Thanks - this description really helped. The module should definitely have a README.txt with this in it.

Why am I still getting an error:
The getID3() module cannot find the getID3 library used to read and write ID3 tags. The site administrator will need to verify that it is installed and then update the settings.
The getID3 files getid3.php and write.php could not be found in the sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3 directory.
Step 4 in INSTALL.txt says:
Unzip the contents of the zip file into sites/all/modules/getid3/ so that
write.php is located in sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3/:
unzip getid3-1.7.9.zip
Do getid3.php and write.php need to be moved from sites/all/modules/getid3/getid3 to sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3/?
What goes where?
EDIT: Just realized this comment is for an old version, I'm writing about getid3 6.x-1.3.

SlowX, you can either save your old path (sites/all/modules/getid3/getid3?) or you can move the whole getid3 directory to the new location. It's totally up to you. I'd suggest going ahead and moving it. This will let you use things like drush to upgrade modules without having to worry about it wacking your copy of the getid3 library.

Excellent - Works fine now having followed this thread and others by creating directories in: sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3 (downloaded content http://www.getid3.org/) AND sites/all/modules/getid3(drupal module)/getid3 (downloaded content http://www.getid3.org/)

Still unclear something:
"1. Place the entire getid3 folder into"
Which getid3 folder?
The one extracted from the .tar.gz compressed archive downloaded from the Modules section of Drupal site
OR
The one obtained extracting the getid3-1.7.9.zip archive downloaded from the http://www.getid3.org site?
#19
I just set up a new site with getid3... and this is where I put everything
sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3
and it works..
please observe that the getid3 module is in the sites/all/modules/getid3 directory
but the add on libraries are in the /sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3 dir.
btw, other modules are heading this direction, like wysiwyg. I still put the swftools libraries in the /shared directory... which I would like to see changed.

i found a easier way to solve this problem and it works for me atleast
//
Go to Administer/Site Configuration/GetId3()
and in there instead of sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3 write in modules/getid3/getid3
after this a new warning shows up and its about a security failure about the demos folder in Getid3 folder, now i just removed it dont know yet if this fucks things up but it still looks A okey to me!
Drupal version: 6.16
getid3 version: 6.x-1.3
getid library version: 1.7.9
Hope this solves some problems for you ppl who dont want to replace the getid3 folder in another folder just because the path is wrong =)
//HB
*edit maybe i should tell you that i have pathauto module installed and thats why i see a pathway in Getid3
atleast i think thats why i see it
