flac - mp3 - tags

[Alain_S]

Anyone ever tried to read tags from FLAC or MP3 files using Labview?One can find lots of freeware code to read/edit those tags but no in information on HOW to read those tags.

So anyone knows how to do it or willing to share a vi to read those tags?

Hi Alain,

For a start you can find some stuff at lava

And you can find a lot of information on the web about  MP3 tags

I used the stuff from Lava and it works great but it is a lot of work to fill in the tags.

Thanks for the lava link, it was indeed a start but also an end point since I found what I needed 🙂

With FLAC files tags are at the start of the file and not at the end.

Glad you found what you were looking for.

I do not know how it is with Flac files but with MP3 files ID tags can be at the end and at the start of the file. I believe it also depends on the version ID tag.

But like I said you can find a lot of information on the web.
