i don't know what i am doing wrong
Public Struct ID3v1_TAG '(128 bytes)
Tag[3] As String 'always TAG
Title[30] As String 'title, 30 characters
Artist[30] As String 'artist, 30 characters
Album[30] As String 'album, 30 characters
Year[4] As String 'year, 4 characters
Comment[30] As String 'comment, 30 characters (or 28 if
track# included)
Genre As Byte 'genre, 255 for none defined
End Struct
Private Sub GetID3v1(File As String)
Dim IDtag As ID3v1_TAG
Dim hfile As File
hfile = Open File For Read
'
'read the tag
' seek to end of less tag size
Read #hfile, IDtag, ID3v1_TAG
here i get IDtag is NULL

given this example

DIM binaryFile AS File
DIM i AS Integer
DIM b AS Byte
DIM s AS Short
DIM s1 AS String

' Read binary file

READ #binaryFile, i

READ #binaryFile, s
READ #binaryFile, s1

is there a way for gambas to read a struct of all these variables
in one read ?
You may have hinted at the solution within your question. Have you considered
using a Structure?
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/lang/read :
"... reads the stream Stream as binary data whose type is specified by the
Datatype argument."
"The returned datatype can be one of the following: NULL, Boolean, Byte, Short,
Integer, Long, Pointer, Single, Float, Date, String, Variant, any Array,
Collection or structure."
