#150 reading flac metadata

[Garrett]

I'm trying to write a python program to read the metadata from a flac file but I can't find any documentation explaining to me where or how to locate it. I'm trying to get the artist and the album but I don't know if that information is held so many bytes from the start, the end or if flac uses tags. Please help, thanks.

There was a discussion on Hydrogenaudio about FLAC files parsing:

The best idea is to use some 3rd party library. Or you can run metaflac and parse its output.
