node-id3 is a ID3-Tag library written in JavaScript without other dependencies.
npm install node-id3
const NodeID3 = require('node-id3')
/* Variables found in the following usage examples */
// file can be a buffer or string with the path to a file
let file = './path/to/(mp3)file' || new Buffer("Some Buffer of a (mp3) file")
let filebuffer = new Buffer("Some Buffer of a (mp3) file")
let filepath = './path/to/(mp3)file'
// Define the tags for your file using the ID (e.g. APIC) or the alias (see at bottom)
let tags = {
title: "Tomorrow",
artist: "Kevin Penkin",
album: "TVアニメ「メイドインアビス」オリジナルサウンドトラック",
APIC: "./example/mia_cover.jpg",
TRCK: "27"
}
// Create a ID3-Frame buffer from passed tags
// Synchronous
let ID3FrameBuffer = NodeID3.create(tags) // Returns ID3-Frame buffer
// Asynchronous
NodeID3.create(tags, function(frame) { })
// Write ID3-Frame into (.mp3) file
let success = NodeID3.write(tags, file) // Returns true/false or, if buffer passed as file, the tagged buffer
NodeID3.write(tags, file, function(err, buffer) { }) // Buffer is only returned if a buffer was passed as file
// Update existing ID3-Frame with new/edited tags
let success = NodeID3.update(tags, file) // Returns true/false or, if buffer passed as file, the tagged buffer
NodeID3.update(tags, file, function(err, buffer) { }) // Buffer is only returned if a buffer was passed as file
let tags = NodeID3.read(file)
NodeID3.read(file, function(tags) {
/*

})
