[Caml-list] MP3 Tag Editing

[David Allsopp]

I have a slightly strange piece of re-tagging to do to some MP3s and was
having a quick look to see if there were any OCaml libraries/bindings for
reading and writing ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags.

A cursory glance revealed MP3tags on the hump but its dependencies seem to
be out of date and it wasn't clear that I'd be able to build it in a newer
ocaml because of camlp4 problems...

Can anyone recommend a library?

TIA,


David

You can give a try to mp3tag:
  http://www.nongnu.org/mp3tag/
I just commited a compilation fix to use lablgtk-extras library[1]. You
must checkout the CVS trunk:
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/mp3tag co mp3tag

Hope this will help you,

For not too particular id3 uses, ocaml-taglib is up-to date and functional:
