TagLib
A library for reading and editing metadata (tags) in a wide variety of audio file formats.
What is TagLib?
TagLib is a C++ library for reading and editing metadata (tags) in audio files. It supports a wide range of audio formats and tagging standards, providing a unified API that abstracts the differences between them. It solves the problem of developers needing to handle multiple, complex audio metadata specifications individually.
Developers building audio applications, media players, file managers, or any software that needs to programmatically read or modify audio file metadata.
Developers choose TagLib for its comprehensive format support, clean and consistent API, and permissive dual-license (LGPL/MPL) that allows integration into both open-source and proprietary projects without legal hurdles.
