A ruby gem to read and write ID3 metadata from/to MP3/M4A files
At Topspin we provide ArtistLink, a platform for musician to upload and share their songs. Artistlink provides a form to read and edit the songs' metadata and stores this information in the ID3 tags of a song. For this task, we created the ID3 Tags gem
ID3 Tags depends on the TagLib library. If you don't have TagLib >= 1.7.2 installed, ID3 Tags will ask to install it.
Install by running gem install id3_tags.
Type id3_tags followed by the path of a local file.
This is will show the ID3 metadata of that file.
- Include
id3_tagsin the Gemfile of your bundled project andbundle install - To read metadata from a file, run
Id3Tags.read_from_file(file_path) - To write metadata to a file, run
Id3Tags.write_to_file(file_path, metadata)
For more details about the format of the metadata, check the specs or the documentation at RubyDoc.info.
Make sure tests pass, then either submit a Pull Request. Please consider testing against the versions of Ruby supported by ID3 Tags.
A list of nice TODOs is provided. You can also build a new version of the gem and move it to your gem repository.
