taglib-go

taglib-go

Apache-licensed audio tag decoding library written in pure go. Designed to mirror the structure of taglib without being a direct port.

tl;dr

go get github.com/hjfreyer/taglib-go/taglib

import "github.com/hjfreyer/taglib-go/taglib"
...
func main() {
    f, err := os.Open("song.mp3")
    tag, err := taglib.Decode(f)
    fmt.Print(tag.Title())
}

Features

Currently has basic read support for id3v2.3 and id3v2.4. No writing support yet.

Goals

• Pure go.
• Not necessarily feature complete, but future compatible.
• Good interfaces.
• Handle errors properly (don't panic).

Why didn't you just use… ?

There are many other Go projects which do tag parsing, but all the ones I found violate at least one of the goals above.

Why don't you support… ?

Probably no reason other than it hasn't happened yet. If you need a particular format, or an additional feature, or you've found a file which taglib-go should parse but doesn't, please create an issue, or better yet, send a patch.
