How to access Tags from Media Files?

inblueswithu

Hi,

Anyone can help me If Qt has any extensions for accessing tags (Artist, Album, Song, cover image etc info) from media (mp3) files. I saw ID3v2, It seems very tough to use that. I tried using TagLib but I'm getting one or other error :(
Can someone help me if there is any good library?

Thanks in Advance,

AFAIK there is nothing inside Qt. TagLib works quite fine for me, what errors do you get?

For now I'm thinking of using QMediaMetaData (just found a day ago) to get the current song data from media player.
But for full fledged tags usage I need some library (like TagLib) as Qt does not have a in-built.
I'll try again to compile it & will comeback for help.
Thanks!

try this class:

class Mp3Metadata
{
public:
Mp3Metadata();
virtual ~Mp3Metadata();
QMap<QString, QString> getMp3Metadata(QString arquivo);
private:

};

It works, but after the

QMap<QString, QString> Mp3Metadata::getMp3Metadata(QString caminhoArquivo)
{
QMap<QString, QString> m;
if(!caminhoArquivo.contains(".mp3"))
return m;

ifstream arquivo(caminhoArquivo.toLatin1().data(), ios::in | ios::binary);
if(!arquivo)
{
return m;
}
char *tag = new char[3];
arquivo.seekg(-128, ios::end);
arquivo.read(tag, 3);
QString QStag(tag);
if(QStag != "TAG")
{
delete[] tag;
return m;
}
char *titulo = new char[30];
arquivo.read(titulo, 30);

char *artista = new char[30];
arquivo.read(artista, 30);

char *album = new char[30];
arquivo.read(album, 30);

char *ano = new char[4];
arquivo.read(ano, 4);

char *comentario = new char[30];
arquivo.read(comentario, 30);

char *genero = new char[1];
arquivo.read(genero, 1);

QMessageBox *mb = new QMessageBox();
QString s;
s.append(tag);
s.append("\n");
s.append(titulo);
s.append("\n");
s.append(artista);
s.append("\n");
s.append(album);
s.append("\n");
s.append(ano);
s.append("\n");
s.append(comentario);
s.append("\n");
s.append(genero);
mb->setText(s);
mb->show();

delete[] tag;
delete[] titulo;
delete[] artista;
delete[] album;
delete[] ano;
delete[] comentario;
delete[] genero;
return m;
}

@mehrdadsilver: Thank you for reply.

But can you please specify the include files for this working & I'm not sure if this code is Spanish specific.!? Can you please clarity.
By the way, can you please paste the code in between @ @ so that there wont be any special chars like those char power of 30 etc
