How to get and set (change) ID3 tag (metadata) of audio files?

Question

I am working to change ID3 tags, the metadata in audio files, such as:

• Artist
• Title
• Album
• etc.

And the core point,. that edited ID3 tags should be shown only into my app.

I think this is what you are looking for MyID3 library to set and get tags for media file.

Download this jar file MyID3_for_android and add it to your project's build path. here is the sample code. here pathdata is the file path of the audio file.

            File src = new File(pathdata);             MusicMetadataSet src_set = null;             try {                 src_set = new MyID3().read(src);             } catch (IOException e1) {                 // TODO Auto-generated catch block                 e1.printStackTrace();             } // read metadata              if (src_set == null) // perhaps no metadata             {                 Log.i("NULL", "NULL");             }             else             {                 try{                     IMusicMetadata metadata = src_set.getSimplified();                     String artist = metadata.getArtist();                       String album = metadata.getAlbum();                       String song_title = metadata.getSongTitle();                      Number track_number = metadata.getTrackNumber();                      Log.i("artist", artist);                     Log.i("album", album);                 }catch (Exception e) {                     e.printStackTrace();                 }                 File dst = new File(pathdata);                 MusicMetadata meta = new MusicMetadata("name");                 meta.setAlbum("Chirag");                 meta.setArtist("CS");                 try {                     new MyID3().write(src, dst, src_set, meta);                 } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {                     // TODO Auto-generated catch block                     e.printStackTrace();                 } catch (ID3WriteException e) {                     // TODO Auto-generated catch block                     e.printStackTrace();                 } catch (IOException e) {                     // TODO Auto-generated catch block                     e.printStackTrace();                 }  // write updated metadata             } 

Happy Coding :)
