NAME

Music::Tag::MP3 - Plugin module for Music::Tag to get information from id3 tags

SYNOPSIS

	use Music::Tag

	my $info = Music::Tag->new($filename, { quiet => 1 }, "MP3");
	$info->get_info();
   
	print "Artist is ", $info->artist;

DESCRIPTION

Music::Tag::MP3 is used to read id3 tag information. It uses MP3::Tag to read id3v2 and id3 tags from mp3 files. As such, it's limitations are the same as MP3::Tag. It does not write id3v2.4 tags, causing it to have some trouble with unicode.

REQUIRED VALUES

No values are required (except filename, which is usually provided on object creation).

SET VALUES

mp3 file info added:

Currently this includes bitrate, duration, frequency, stereo, bytes, codec, frames, vbr, 

id3v1 tag info added:

title, artist, album, track, comment, year and genre

id3v2 tag info added:

title, artist, album, track, totaltracks, year, genre, disc, totaldiscs, label, releasedate, lyrics (using USLT), url (using WCOM), encoder (using TFLT), and picture (using apic).

The following information is gathered from the ID3v2 tag using custom tags

TXXX[ASIN] asin TXXX[Sortname] sortname TXXX[MusicBrainz Artist Id] mb_artistid TXXX[MusicBrainz Album Id] mb_albumid TXXX[MusicBrainz Track Id] mb_trackid TXXX[MusicBrainz Album Type] album_type TXXX[MusicBrainz Artist Type] artist_type

Some data in the LAME header is obtained from MP3::Info (requires MP3::Info 1.2.3)
