At the end of main funcion there is assert, I have tried to debug the

terminates there is an assert in the vectors destructor.

Using a debugger you would notice that the problem occurs when you try
to delete m_szArtistName in ~trId3Data().

  tVoid vCopyStirng( char *&dest , char *&src )
  {
    dest = (char*)malloc(strlen(src));

^^^^^^^

    strcpy( dest, src );
  }

  tVoid vCopyStirng( char *&dest , char *&src )

^^^^^^

strcpy( dest, src );
}

Memory allocated with malloc must be deallocated with free, (likewise,
memory allocated with new must be deallocated with delete). In C++
programs new should be used unless you need to allocate memory
deallocated by libraries written in C (which is bad design, so you
probably should not use such libraries any way).
