Mac Forum / Programming / Mac Programming / August 2007How to get m4a file's meta data(album,genre,art work,etc )
I am new to quickTime.I programed to get a m4a file's metadata with QuickTime SDK on windows . I called SDK's API: InitializeQTML EnterMovies OpenMovieFile NewMovieFromFile QTCopyMovieMetaData ... I succeeded only if QuickTime *player* was installed in my pc. The InitializeQTML would fail if there was no QuickTime player. It's not practical to force every user to install QuickTime Player. But I notice some other software can do this eg.Tag & Rename So how to get metadata without installing QuickTime. Thanks in advance. > So how to get metadata without installing QuickTime. Go get the MPEG 4 specification from the standards committee, and write a *lot* of code to parse the file yourself. -jcr >> So how to get metadata without installing QuickTime. > >Go get the MPEG 4 specification from the standards committee, and write >a *lot* of code to parse the file yourself. > >-jcr Thank you! > > So how to get metadata without installing QuickTime. > > Go get the MPEG 4 specification from the standards committee, and write > a *lot* of code to parse the file yourself. > > -jcr It's already been written. QuickTime is proprietary, yes, but there are other programs which do metadata parsing like AtomicParsley. Most of the code would be in there, except in C/C++. |
