No, I’ve used it with MP3 and AAC and AIFF; I’m pretty sure it supports every format there’s a system codec for (i.e. most audio formats except Ogg and FLAC, but you can get 3rd party components

Rumor (i.e. Stack Overflow) has it that AVFoundation will only work with AAC, but I have not confirmed that myself. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc. "Demystifying technology for your home or business"

AVFoundation has a higher-level OOP API for this. Look for methods for accessing metadata, and constants defining the various metadata types like Title, Artist, etc. —Jens

I believe there is a function where you can pull all available attributes/properties. You can look at that dict and see if it contains what you are looking for. Keary Suska Esoteritech,

In Obj-C (getting width and height of an image in pixels): NSMetadataItem *mdItem = [[NSMetadataItem alloc] initWithURL:url]; NSDictionary *dict = [mdItem

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

Hi, Yes! It was sandboxing I turned it off and all works ok now! Thanks Dave

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

Are the folders actual folders? Or symlinks? What OS, SDK, etc? Sandor

As I said, myExistsFlag and myFolderFlag are set to YES. So the folder exists, I copied and pasted the Path from the finder. Also I've tried it on a number of different folders and it still

In the code you posted, there was no check for the value of myFolderFlag on return from fileExistsAtPath:, so are you sure it's a directory? Doc for enumeratorAtPath: says: "Return Value An

Hi, I can’t for the life of see what is wrong with the following method. I’m basically doing the same as in the NSFileManager but I can’t seem to get it to work. The enumeratorAtPath: methods

OK, makes sense. A simple NSString category using NSScanner internally makes it easy enough. Thanks for the help, —Graham
