tinytag only provides the minimum needed for _reading_ MP3, OGG, FLAC and Wave meta-data. It can determine track number, total tracks, title, artist, album, year, duration and more.

from tinytag import TinyTag tag = TinyTag.get(‘/some/music.mp3’) print(‘This track is by %s.’ % tag.artist) print(‘It is %f seconds long.’ % tag.duration)

List of possible attributes you can get with TinyTag:

tag.album # album as string tag.artist # artist name as string tag.audio_offset # number of bytes before audio data begins tag.bitrate # bitrate in kBits/s tag.duration # duration of the song in seconds tag.filesize # file size in bytes tag.samplerate # samples per second tag.title # title of the song tag.track # track number as string tag.track_total # total number of tracks as string tag.year # year or data as string
