Installation

Usage

Write tags

const NodeID3 = require('node-id3-promise')

// Path to the MP3 file
const filePath = '/path/to/(mp3)file'

//  Tags for your file using the ID (e.g. APIC) or the alias (see at bottom)
const tags = {
  title: 'Talking to Myself',
  artist: 'Linkin Park',
  album: 'One More Light',
  genre: 'Pop Rock',
  trackNumber: '3',
  year: '2017',
  image: '/path/to/(jpg)file'
}

NodeID3.write(tags, filePath)
  .then(() => {...})
  .catch(err => {...})

Read tags

const NodeID3 = require('node-id3-promise')

// Path to the MP3 file
const filePath = '/path/to/(mp3)file'

NodeID3.read(filePath)
    .then(tags => {...})
    .catch(err => {...})

Remove tags

const NodeID3 = require('node-id3-promise')

// Path to the MP3 file
const filePath = '/path/to/(mp3)file'

NodeID3.removeTags(filepath)
    .then(() => {...})
    .catch(err => {...})
