What is music-metadata?

The music-metadata npm package is a powerful tool for parsing and extracting metadata from audio files. It supports a wide range of audio formats and provides detailed information about the audio file, including tags, format, and technical properties.

What are music-metadata's main functionalities?

Extract Basic Metadata

This feature allows you to extract basic metadata from an audio file, such as title, artist, album, and genre. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `parseFile` method to read and log metadata from an MP3 file.

const mm = require('music-metadata');
const fs = require('fs');

async function getMetadata(filePath) {
  try {
    const metadata = await mm.parseFile(filePath);
    console.log(metadata);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error.message);
  }
}

getMetadata('path/to/audio/file.mp3');

Extract Format Information

This feature allows you to extract format information from an audio file, such as the container type, codec, sample rate, and bit rate. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `parseFile` method to read and log format information from an MP3 file.

const mm = require('music-metadata');
const fs = require('fs');

async function getFormatInfo(filePath) {
  try {
    const metadata = await mm.parseFile(filePath);
    console.log(metadata.format);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error.message);
  }
}

getFormatInfo('path/to/audio/file.mp3');

Extract Technical Properties

This feature allows you to extract technical properties from an audio file, such as duration, number of channels, and bit depth. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `parseFile` method to read and log technical properties from an MP3 file.

const mm = require('music-metadata');
const fs = require('fs');

async function getTechnicalProperties(filePath) {
  try {
    const metadata = await mm.parseFile(filePath);
    console.log(metadata.common);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error.message);
  }
}

getTechnicalProperties('path/to/audio/file.mp3');
