id3
ID3 library for Go.
Supported formats:
- ID3v1
- ID3v2.2
- ID3v2.3
Install
The platform ($GOROOT/bin) "go get" tool is the best method to install.
go get github.com/mikkyang/id3-go
This downloads and installs the package into your $GOPATH. If you only want to recompile, use "go install".
go install github.com/mikkyang/id3-go
Usage
An import allows access to the package.
import (
id3 "github.com/mikkyang/id3-go"
)
Version specific details can be accessed through the subpackages.
import (
"github.com/mikkyang/id3-go/v1"
"github.com/mikkyang/id3-go/v2"
)
Opening a File
To access the tag of a file, first open the file using the package's Open
function.
mp3File, err := id3.Open("All-In.mp3")
It's also a good idea to ensure that the file is closed using defer
.
defer mp3File.Close()
Accessing Information
Some commonly used data have methods in the tag for easier access. These
methods are for Title
, Artist
, Album
, Year
, Genre
, and Comments
.
mp3File.SetArtist("Okasian")
fmt.Println(mp3File.Artist())
ID3v2 Frames
v2 Frames can be accessed directly by using the Frame
or Frames
method
of the file, which return the first frame or a slice of frames as Framer
interfaces. These interfaces allow read access to general details of the file.
lyricsFrame := mp3File.Frame("USLT")
lyrics := lyricsFrame.String()
If more specific information is needed, or frame-specific write access is needed, then the interface must be cast into the appropriate underlying type. The example provided does not check for errors, but it is recommended to do so.
lyricsFrame := mp3File.Frame("USLT").(*v2.UnsynchTextFrame)
