ID3 tags w/ minim (Read 544 times)

ID3 tags w/ minim
Dec 3rd, 2007, 9:32am  
Sorry for spamming the boards like this.

I'm using minim to do all the audio input analysis, in pursuit of creating a music visualizer.

With that in mind, I would really like to be able to use ID3 tags.

I'd like to know if there's any possibility that I can get the visualizer to change over a certain timeperiod?

Example: Song (A) is 3:00 in playtime, and I would need the visalizer to change in appearance when half of the song has been played (1:30). Could that be done?

Also, would it be possible to read stuff like Genre, song title, artist and so on? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for any help - I really appreciate it. Smiley

Just realized that the minim libraries uses Javazoom’s MP3SPI package - which is all very neat, and supposedly I should be able to read ID3 tags from there.

Have been looking through the forums and documentation - and so far I haven't been able to find anything that can point me towards a solution. Anyone?

w00t! Thanks ! Cheesy

That helped a *lot*. Now all I have left to figure out is how to analyze the length of a given song that's playing.

Any great ideas as to how I can do that ?
