Hi,
I'm trying to use id3lib to edit ID3 tags, however I don't know how to do it! By that I mean I don't know how to include the libraries and whatever else I'm supposed to do. I can't find anywhere that says how to do this! I know it may be a simple thing, but does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance.
is this what you need? http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/api/index.html
Thanks, but the real problem is that I don't know how to install/link the libraries. I tried but when I tried to compile it it gave me:Anyone know what to do?Code:error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: virtual __thiscall ID3_Tag::~ID3_Tag(void)" (__imp_??1ID3_Tag@@UAE@XZ) referenced in function _main
It depends on your IDE
in most cases - enter the project properties
Find linker tab
something like "Additional libraries" field and add there the id3lib.lib name
How would I do that in Visual C++ (the program)?
There's this text file that's included (attached to this post) but it doesn't make any sense! For example:(id3lib and zlib are projects that were included). Hope this helps.Code:2) include libprj/id3lib.dsp and zlib/prj/zlib.dsp to your workspace
3) make your project dependend on id3lib, and make id3lib dependend on zlib
Well, I figured out what making them depend on each other and adding them meant, but now I get a slew of error messages when I try to compile - they mostly say something like "such-and-such already defined in such-and-such.lib(such-and-such.dll)". That's what all of them say. Now in the last paragraph of the "instructions", it says:I have tried adding those to Project>Properties>Linker>Input>Ignore Specific Library (that was the only place I could find something about those), but it has no effect. I'm still very confused, any help would be appreciated. Please answer soon.Quote:
7) Try to compile, and see if you need any of the following:
(debug) /nodefaultlib:"msvcprtd" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"msvcprt"
(debug) /nodefaultlib:"MSVCRTD" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"MSVCRT"
(debug) /nodefaultlib:"libcd" or(release) /nodefaultlib:"libc"
different programs may require different 'nodefaultlib' 's, or none at all, these worked for me.
If none you try work, revert to C)
Please, can anyone help me? I am really confused. If anyone knows a better way to edit/read the ID3 tag, please tell me - all that I need to know is how to read/edit the album art.
Also, I found an older version of this in a single .DLL file, and I could use that if anyone could tell me how to do it - I am using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.
Ok, forget everything I've asked before this, I found out that I can't get Album Art with that anyway. Can anyone tell me whether or not it's possible to get album art with c++? That's all I want to know. If you do know, please tell me or give a link. Thanks.
Ok I've found this info about how the ID3 tags are saved; however, I don't know what all the stuff about "MIME" is, can anyone shed some light on it?Quote:
This frame contains a picture directly related to the audio file. Image format is the MIME type and subtype for the image. In the event that the MIME media type name is omitted, "image/" will be implied. The "image/png" or "image/jpeg" picture format should be used when interoperability is wanted. Description is a short description of the picture, represented as a terminated textstring. The description has a maximum length of 64 characters, but may be empty. There may be several pictures attached to one file, each in their individual "APIC" frame, but only one with the same content descriptor. There may only be one picture with the picture type declared as picture type $01 and $02 respectively. There is the possibility to put only a link to the image file by using the 'MIME type' "-->" and having a complete URL instead of picture data. The use of linked files should however be used sparingly since there is the risk of separation of files.
