How to get detail (Title,Artist) from .mp3 files in python using eyed3

Question

Here is my code

import eyed3

audiofile = eyed3.load(\"19 Calvin Harris - Summer.mp3\")

print(audiofile.tag.artist)

This is an error

Answer 1

I think the problem lies within the module.

I did some debugging using this code:

from eyed3 import id3

tag = id3.Tag()
tag.parse("myfile.mp3")
print(tag.artist)

In the parse function, the file is opened and then passed to _loadV2Tag(fileobject). Then, the module reads the first few lines of the file header and checks if it begins with ID3.

if f.read(3) != "ID3":
    return False

And here it returns false and I think this is where the error lies, because if I try to read the header myself, it is most definitely ID3.

>>> f = open("myfile.mp3", "rb")
>>> print(f.read(3))
b'ID3'

But full python3 support is not to be expected until version 0.8 according to https://bitbucket.org/nicfit/eyed3/issues/25/python-3-compatibilty which is available here: https://bitbucket.org/nicfit/eyed3/branch/py3
