music-metadata-browser

music-metadata-browser is a metadata parser, supporting virtual any audio format and tag header around.

music-metadata-browser is a node module, designed for modern browser applications. Because modules don't run directly in the browser you need a module bundler, like Webpack or Parcel. The module bundler turns the modules (dependencies), together with you application code, into a static asset (typically a minified JavaScript file). The output of module bundler is compatible and optimized for execution by a web browser.

Integration with React or Angular should not be a problem:

• example project using React framework
• example project using Angular framework

If you prefer to parse files or streams server (node.js) side, you should use music-metadata instead.

Usage

Installation

Install via npm:

npm install music-metadata-browser

or using yarn:

yarn add music-metadata-browser

Import music-metadata

Import music-metadata in JavaScript

const musicMetadata = require('music-metadata-browser');

This is how it's done in TypeScript

import * as musicMetadata from 'music-metadata-browser';

Module Functions

There are currently three ways to parse (read) audio tracks:

1. parsing a Web API blob or file with the parseBlob function.
2. Using ReadableStream using the parseReadableStream function.
3. Using Node.js streams using the parseNodeStream function.
4. Provide a URL to fetch the audio track from.

parseBlob function

Parse an audio file from a Blob or File.

const musicMetadata = require('music-metadata-browser');

let blob;

musicMetadata.parseBlob(blob).then(metadata => {
    // metadata has all the metadata found in the blob or file
  });

Or with async/await if you prefer:

(async () => {
  let blob; // File or Blob

  const metadata = await musicMetadata.parseBlob(blob);
  // metadata has all the metadata found in the blob or file
});

parseReadableStream function

import * as mm from 'music-metadata-browser';

(async () => {
  const metadata = await mm.parseReadableStream(readableStream);
  console.log(util.inspect(metadata, { showHidden: false, depth: null }));
});

Parse from a Web API ReadableStream (web stream according WTWG Streams Standard).

If available, pass the mime-type and file-size. Without the mime-type, the content will be audio type will be automatically detected.

It is recommended to provide the corresponding MIME-type. An extension (e.g.: .mp3), filename or path will also work. If the MIME-type or filename is not provided, or not understood, music-metadata will try to derive the type from the content.

import * as mm from 'music-metadata-browser';

const readableStream = result.node;

mm.parseReadableStream(readableStream, {size: 21032, mimeType: 'audio/mpeg'})
  .then( metadata => {
     console.log(util.inspect(metadata, { showHidden: false, depth: null }));
     someReadStream.cancel();
   });

parseNodeStream function

import * as mm from 'music-metadata-browser';

mm.parseNodeStream(readableStream)
  .then( metadata => {
     console.log(util.inspect(metadata, { showHidden: false, depth: null }));
     readableStream.destroy();
   });

The readable stream is derived from Node's readable stream.

If available, pass the mime-type and file-size. Without the mime-type, the content will be audio type will be automatically detected.

import * as mm from 'music-metadata-browser';

(async () => {
  const metadata = await mm.parseNodeStream(someReadStream, {mimeType: 'audio/mpeg', size: 26838 });
  console.log(util.inspect(metadata, { showHidden: false, depth: null }));
  someReadStream.close();
});

fetchUrl function

If you wish to stream your audio track over HTTP you need can use fetchFromUrl which is using the Fetch API to retrieve the audio track:

import * as mm from 'music-metadata-browser';

(async () => {
  const metadata = await mm.fetchFromUrl(audioTrackUrl, options);
});

orderTags function

Utility to Converts the native tags to a dictionary index on the tag identifier

orderTags(nativeTags: ITag[]): [tagId: string]: any[]

ratingToStars function

Can be used to convert the normalized rating value to the 0..5 stars, where 0 an undefined rating, 1 the star the lowest rating and 5 the highest rating.

ratingToStars(rating)

rating is a number between 0.0 and 1.0

Returns the number of stars: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

selectCover function

Select cover image based on image type field, otherwise the first picture in file.

export function selectCover(pictures?: IPicture[]): IPicture | null

import * as mm from 'music-metadata';

(async () => {
  const {common} = await mm.parseFile(filePath);
  const cover = mm.selectCover(common.picture); // pick the cover image
}
)();

Options

• duration: default: false, if set to true, it will parse the whole media file if required to determine the duration.
• fileSize: only provide this in combination with parseStream function.
• observer: (update: MetadataEvent) => void;: Will be called after each change to common (generic) tag, or format properties.
• skipCovers: default: false, if set to true, it will not return embedded cover-art (images).
• skipPostHeaders? boolean default: false, if set to true, it will not search all the entire track for additional headers. Only recommenced to use in combination with streams.
• includeChapters default: false, if set to true, it will parse chapters (currently only MP4 files). experimental functionality

Although in most cases duration is included, in some cases it requires music-metadata parsing the entire file. To enforce parsing the entire file if needed you should set duration to true.

Metadata result

If the returned promise resolves, the metadata (TypeScript IAudioMetadata interface) contains:

• format: IFormat Audio format information
• native: INativeTags List of native (original) tags found in the parsed audio file.
• common: ICommonTagsResult Is a generic (abstract) way of reading metadata information.

Format

Audio format information. Defined in the TypeScript IFormat interface:

• container?: string Audio encoding format. e.g.: 'flac'
• codec? Name of the codec (algorithm used for the audio compression)
• codecProfile?: string Codec profile / settings
• tagTypes?: TagType[] List of tagging formats found in parsed audio file
• duration?: number Duration in seconds
• bitrate?: number Number bits per second of encoded audio file
• sampleRate?: number Sampling rate in Samples per second (S/s)
• bitsPerSample?: number Audio bit depth
• lossless?: boolean True if lossless, false for lossy encoding
• numberOfChannels?: number Number of audio channels
• numberOfSamples?: number Number of samples frames, one sample contains all channels. The duration is: numberOfSamples / sampleRate

Common

Common tag documentation is automatically generated.
