How to get and set (change) ID3 tag (metadata) of audio files?
Actually, FasteKerinns's code is quite good. You should just change
new MyID3().write(src, dst, src_set, meta);
to
new MyID3().update(src, src_set, meta);
which means you don't need dst variable at all.
Additionaly, I have this piece of code which refreshes song that is modified in MediaStore:
scanner=new MediaScannerConnection(getApplicationContext(),
new MediaScannerConnectionClient() {
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
scanner.disconnect();
}
public void onMediaScannerConnected() {
scanner.scanFile(path, "audio/*");
}
});
scanner.connect();
I think this is what you are looking for MyID3 library to set and get tags for media file.
Download this jar file MyID3_for_android and add it to your project's build path.
here is the sample code. here pathdata
is the file path of the audio file.
File src = new File(pathdata);
MusicMetadataSet src_set = null;
try {
src_set = new MyID3().read(src);
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} // read metadata
if (src_set == null) // perhaps no metadata
{
Log.i("NULL", "NULL");
}
else
{
try{
IMusicMetadata metadata = src_set.getSimplified();
String artist = metadata.getArtist();
String album = metadata.getAlbum();
String song_title = metadata.getSongTitle();
Number track_number = metadata.getTrackNumber();
Log.i("artist", artist);
Log.i("album", album);
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
File dst = new File(pathdata);
MusicMetadata meta = new MusicMetadata("name");
meta.setAlbum("Chirag");
meta.setArtist("CS");
try {
new MyID3().write(src, dst, src_set, meta);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ID3WriteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} // write updated metadata
}
Happy Coding :)
