Posted: Tue Dec 19, 2006 9:34 pm Post subject: MP3 tag info

Greetings, I am sitting here listening to Christmas music from the internet as I work and invaribly a few stinkers pop up. Currently, when a stinker comes up, the volume automatically goes down to mute. I have several stations listed in a radio group so I can hope around. Right now all I have is the ULR listed. Winamp has the ability to scan the stations and retreive the song played on the various stations. Does anyone know of a way to poll a url to read the stream MP3 tag info (in order to get the file info) My intent is to have the player display the song name in the radio group (my pre-set radio stations) instead of the url. Regards and Merry Christmas, Bill

"extracting" implies not writing edits to MP3 file ?

In XP , I have C++ BCB 4 and I am rusty compiling Pascal !

Thanks , Jim D

I'm just finishing read support for ID3v2.3 and .4 tags (as a subset of a larger Tag reader project)
as I don't need write support for this project, it'll be done at some later time

Will wait weeks , not months Smile

Currently collecting C & C++ tag edit code :
http://download.sourceforge.net/id3lib/ , 2002 , ver 3.8.3 , 4.1 MB
MP3ID3 , yubodong (AT) gmail (DOT) com , 2006 , no BPM , 52 KB source

Do you know of other C code ?
Are you working from code samples , specs ?

ohh, ok then
I have the reader almost complete (still need to add v2.2 support)
I'm working from the specs, also checking out some other code and checking with a few other apps

will be off a couple of days, just got a new pc and need to setup everything

I'm now wrapping id3lib into BCB6 object .
Need binary format of Volume Adjust Frame / Field
Need to extract kilo bytes per second encoding

how's that going? :)

for what I need, ID3 reading is complete
I've added a special Relative Volume Adjustment frame
for V2.4 frames the units are expressed as (dB * 512), so, to get the dB value, use (TRVAChannelInfo.VolumeAdjustment / 512)
for V2.2 and 2.3 I have no clue what the units are :/

I will also add a common tag agnostic frame specifier and a mapper for frame types
eg: 'RVAD', 'RVA2', 'RVA' > ftRelativeVolumeAdjustment
also, when loading/saving, tags and frames will get updated to the newest version; 'RVA' > 'RVA2', 'PIC' > 'APIC', ...

note that the code is Delphi2006 and newer beucase I'm using records with methods and operator overloading!
you can checkout the latest from: svn://leenover.homeip.net/Public/DTag
or view it online: http://leenover.homeip.net/isapi/pas2html.dll/pas2html?File=/delphi/Projects/DTag/
or download the zip: http://leenover.homeip.net/delphi/Projects/DTag.zip

to get the RVA data do:

uses DTag.ID3, DTag.ID3.Frames;

LID3Tagger := TID3Tagger.Create;
if not LID3Tagger.OpenFile(...) then handleNoID3Tag;
// go through Tags or use the first one
LTag := LID3Tagger.Tags[0];
// go through frames and find the RVA frame
LFrame := LTag.Frames[I];
if LFrame is TID3RelativeVolumeAdjustment then
begin
LRVAFrame := TID3RelativeVolumeAdjustment(LFrame);
LRVAFrame.GetChannel() to get channel info
