  2. How to get Extended File Info

Re: How to get Extended File Info

Hi,

I’m looking at the Audio Toolbox, I assume you mean the AudioOpenFile, AudioFileGetProperty and AudioCloseFile C functions? If so, then I can’t see how to get the fields I mentioned? In the Finder for MP3 files, it displays the Title, Album, Genre, etc. I don’t see a method that returns the same info?

Spotlight, I can’t seem to find any reference to how to get this extended documentation any where.

Surely then must be a Higher Level method to do this simple task?

All the Best
Dave

AudioToolbox, especially Audio File Services (don’t have links but should be able to search docs easily), appear to have this capability.

Hi,

Looking at the Finder “Get Info” window, for instance for an mp3 file, it displays under the “More Info” tab, the Title, Authors, etc.

How can I get this information programatically?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
