ID3 tag extraction

Question

How can i extract the information embedded in ID3 tag from mp3 file in windows and android environment?

Answer 1

Check out id3lib for a c/c++ library and jid3lib for a library in Java, which you will need for Android.

For .NET development I would recommend using TagLib#. To reference and use the TagLib# library you need to run the following command in the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio.

PM> Install-Package taglib

The NuGet distribution of taglib-sharp can be found at http://nuget.org/packages/taglib. The official source code repository is at https://github.com/mono/taglib-sharp.
