An easy to use Swift framework that edits and retrieves ID3 tag information.
There are two projects which perform the same thing. One is in Swift the other in Objective C. I recommend building the Objective C project and using that framework. (It will work for both Objective C and Swift projects.) In the future, this will be the only project I update!
Drag the framework into your Swift project. Make sure to add to your project's embedded binaries by going to Project Settings > General > Embedded Binaries
At the top of your Swift code:
import ID3EditTo open a mp3 file for writing:
do
{
// Open the file
let mp3File = try MP3File(path: "/Users/Example/Music/example.mp3")
// Use MP3File(data: data) data being an NSData object
// to load an MP3 file from memory
// NOTE: If you use the MP3File(data: NSData?) initializer make
// sure to set the path before calling writeTag() or an
// exception will be thrown
// Get song information
print("Title:\t\(mp3File.getTitle())")
print("Artist:\t\(mp3File.getArtist())")
print("Album:\t\(mp3File.getAlbum())")
print("Lyrics:\n\(mp3File.getLyrics())")
let artwork = mp3File.getArtwork()
// Write song information
mp3File.setTitle("The new song title")
mp3File.setArtist("The new artist")
mp3File.setAlbum("The new album")
mp3File.setLyrics("Yeah Yeah new lyrics")
if let newArt = NSImage(contentsOfFile: "/Users/Example/Pictures/example.png")
{
mp3File.setArtwork(newArt, isPNG: true)
}
else
{
print("The artwork referenced does not exist.")
}
// Save the information to the mp3 file
mp3File.writeTag() // or mp3.getMP3Data() returns the NSData
// of the mp3 file
}
catch ID3EditErrors.FileDoesNotExist
{
print("The file does not exist.")
}
catch ID3EditErrors.NotAnMP3
{
print("The file you attempted to open was not an mp3 file.")
}
catch {}Drag the framework into your project. Make sure to add the path to the framework in Project Settings > Build Settings > Runpath Search Paths
