node-id3 is an ID3-Tag library written in JavaScript.

Installation

``sh
npm install node-id3
`

Usage

`javascript
const NodeID3 = require('node-id3')

/ Variables found in the following usage examples /

const filebuffer = Buffer.from("Some Buffer of a (mp3) file")
const filepath = './path/to/(mp3)file'

const 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"
}
`

If you have an existing file/buffer (e.g. an mp3 file) you can use the write method to write your tags into it. It will remove existing tags and add yours.

`javascript
const success = NodeID3.write(tags, filepath) // Returns true/Error
// async version
NodeID3.write(tags, file, function(err) { })
`

$3

`javascript
const success = NodeID3.write(tags, filebuffer) // Returns Buffer
// async version
NodeID3.write(tags, file, function(err, buffer) { })
`

$3

The update method works like the write method but will keep or overwrite existing tags instead of removing them.

`javascript
const success = NodeID3.update(tags, filepath) // Returns true/Error
const success = NodeID3.update(tags, filebuffer) // Returns Buffer
NodeID3.update(tags, filepath, function(err, buffer) { })
NodeID3.update(tags, filebuffer, function(err, buffer) { })

// Possible options
const options = {
include: ['TALB', 'TIT2'], // only read the specified tags (default: all)
exclude: ['APIC'] // don't read the specified tags (default: [])
}

NodeID3.update(tags, filepath, options)
const success = NodeID3.update(tags, filebuffer, options)
NodeID3.update(tags, filepath, options, function(err, buffer) { })
NodeID3.update(tags, filebuffer, options, function(err, buffer) { })
`

$3

The create method will return a buffer of your ID3-Tag. You can use it to e.g. write it into a file yourself instead of using the write method.

`javascript
const success = NodeID3.create(tags) // Returns ID3-Tag Buffer
// async version
NodeID3.create(tags, function(buffer) { })
`

$3

`javascript
const tags = NodeID3.read(file)
NodeID3.read(file, function(err, tags) {})
/*
tags: {
title: "Tomorrow",
artist: "Kevin Penkin",
image: {
mime: "image/jpeg",
type: {
id: 3,
name: "front cover"
},
description: String,
imageBuffer: Buffer
},
raw: {
TIT2: "Tomorrow",
TPE1: "Kevin Penkin",
APIC: Object (See above)
}
}
*/

// Possible options
const options = {
include: ['TALB', 'TIT2'], // only read the specified tags (default: all)
exclude: ['APIC'], // don't read the specified tags (default: [])
onlyRaw: false, // only return raw object (default: false)
noRaw: false // don't generate raw object (default: false)
}
const tags = NodeID3.read(file, options)
`

$3

`javascript
const success = NodeID3.removeTags(filepath) // returns true/Error
NodeID3.removeTags(filepath, function(err) { })

let bufferWithoutID3Frame = NodeID3.removeTagsFromBuffer(filebuffer) // Returns Buffer
`

$3

`javascript
const NodeID3Promise = require('node-id3').Promise

NodeID3.write(tags, fileOrBuffer)
NodeID3.update(tags, fileOrBuffer)
NodeID3.create(tags)
NodeID3.read(filepath)
NodeID3.removeTags(filepath)
