The id3Tags
property can only be tested for MP3 cast members that are inserted into the cast via the Insert > Shockwave Audio command. The member must be preloaded with preLoadBuffer()
before the id3Tags
property is tested. Id3Tags
information is not available from MP3's that are imported via the Import command or for Shockwave Audio (.swa) files.
The id3Tags
property cannot be set within Director. However, most MP3 playback and extraction applications offer this capability.
Example
These statements display the ID3 tags of the MP3 cast member Title Song in the Message window:
member("TitleSong").preload() put member("Title Song").id3Tags -- [#TALB: "Love Theme", #TCOM: "Jane Smith", #TRDA: "8/19/76"]
