Thread: [Dev-C++] Tags from mp3

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi all!
Someone know where can I find a library to work with the tags in a mp3 file?
And to convert from a wav to mp3?

Thanks

Don't use mp3! It is "deprecated". Use Vorbis instead!

"Vorbis sounds better. Vorbis is open, so you're free to use it on your favorite 
platform. Vorbis doesn't have intellectual property restrictions to get in the 
way. And Vorbis doesn't just try to sound better, it tries to do things 
fundamentally better in all the ways that it can."

Generally "Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio 
encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source." - like 
mp3, but it is better in ALL terms.

Look for more info at http://www.vorbis.com and read the FAQ, it will surely 
convince you! It has convinced me. Even Winamp 2.80 can play ogg vorbis audio.

Hello Fernando!

I have never used ogg vorbis myself, just heard of it, so I looked around on 
www.vorbis.com. This is, what I recommend:

Download Ogg Vorbis Win32 SDK (if you are working under Windows) from www.vorbis.com

Here is a direct link:
http://www.vorbis.com/files/1.0/windows/OggVorbis-win32sdk-1.0.zip

It has everything you might need for encoding/decoding/tagging. Includes, 
libraries, and even DLLs (if you prefer using DLLs). A great benefit of ogg 
files, is that they can have any number of tags. Each tag has the 
TAG_NAME=tag_value format in the file, but the SDK provides an easy to use 
interface for setting and loading tags.

The SDK has a brief documentation and example C sources, well documented.

I hope that helps.

As I stated in my previous mail, mp3 is NOT FREE. I don't know much about it's 
license, but I guess (theoretically) you (would) need to pay for encoding wav 
files to mp3. Ogg vorbis instead is FREE. Even great games today all use ogg for 
music, because it's free, it is small, and it sounds very good. UT2003, Serious 
Sam uses ogg for music, just to mention a few...

Greets, Fernando, and Hi again, the Dev-C++ list... I'd been off for some
time.
