say $tagger -> title;

DESCRIPTION

Audio::Tagger is a module to read and write metadata from various types of different audio formats, based on taglib. It tries to be easy to use, but flexible enough to allow most of the usages of this kind of software. It isn't (and won't be) a full Perl taglib interface.

Why another module for audio tags? There are some other modules that handle audio tags, but they are either incomplete or completely broken. For instance, Audio::Scan and Audio::File can only read tags, Audio::TagLib does not even build, Audio::Metadata, Audio::APE, Mp3::Info, and others support only a single audio or tag format, etc...
