Question

Mozilla Developer Center\'s HTML5 media guide describes an event for audio and video elements called \"loadedmetadata\". Is there anyway to get the metadata for files? I am

Answer 1

According to this you can use filereader.readAsBinaryString(file); to get the binary data of the ID3 tag.

filereader.readAsBinaryString(file); will asynchronously return a binary string with each byte represented by an integer in the range [0..255]. This is useful for binary manipulations of a file’s data, for example to look for ID3 tags in an MP3 file, or to look for EXIF data in a JPEG image.
