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.
