id3

I can read meta information like title, artist, album art and other information from audio files, but I have never been able to successfully write the meta information. Any have any experiences with this? Are there better libraries than JAudioTagger? I'd offer some example code, but I've tried a dozen things that didn't work. Something like AudioFile audioFile = AudioFileIO.read(testFile); Tag newTag = audioFile.getTag(); newTag.setField(FieldKey.ALBUM,"October"); newTag.setField(FieldKey.ARTIST,"U2"); audioFile.commit(); but if you are using android you also need to do TagOptionSingleton

I am looking for the best or any way to set the Album Art of mp3s using PHP. Suggestions? Album art is a data frame identified as “Attached picture” due ID3v2 specification, and getID3() now is only one way to write all possible data frames in ID3v2 with pure PHP. Look at this source: http://getid3.sourceforge.net/source/write.id3v2.phps Search for this text in the source: // 4.14 APIC Attached picture there's a piece of code responsible for writing album art. Another way, that seems to be not as slow as pure PHP, is to use some external application, that will be launched by PHP script. If

Using Ruby, how can one parse the ID3 tags of remote mp3 files without downloading the entire file to disk? This question has been asked in Java and Silverlight , but no Ruby. Edit: Looking at the Java answer, it seems as though it's possible (HTTP supports it) to download just the tail end of a file, which is where the tags are. Can this be done in Ruby? Tilo which Ruby version are you using? which ID3 Tag version are you trying to read? ID3v1 tags are at the end of a file, in the last 128 bytes. With Net::HTTP it doesn't seem to be possible to seek forward towards the end of the file and

FFMPEG is really a great tool. I know it can edit ID3 tags and even remove all tags in a row : ffmpeg -i tagged.mp3 -map_metadata -1 untagged.mp3 But even after that, there's still the cover image. I don't know how to remove it using ffmpeg. I know there's other soft out there that can do the job - like eyed3 - but what's the point to install it if ffmpeg can do it too, in one line, while encoding the audio ? The cover image/album art is treated as a video stream by ffmpeg. To omit it you can use the -vn or -map options. Strip metadata and remove album art (no re-encoding) In this example the

I'm looking for a way to modify ID3 tags with Swift. More specifically, I want to write the Album Art image to an mp3/m4a file. A Swift library would be the best, but I'll take anything that can be done natively in Swift. I don't want to rely on another language's library. I had a quick look at AVFoundation, but it looks like it's only for audio/video playback and conversion. This is about the closest I found from ID3 tags: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVAsset_Class/ Any suggestion? I was faced with this same problem over and over so I decided to
