Limitations

edit
  • Audio formats only. There is no support for video files, images, or audio formats other than those of the Introduction, such as WMA or APE tags.
  • One set of fields. MediaTagInfo exposes the common fields; the frames and items of a format that the library does not read are kept when writing, but you cannot read or change them, except the text fields of CustomFields.
  • Writing replaces. There is no merge: read the tags before writing them; see Writing replaces the tags.
  • No OGG multiplexing. Multiplexed and chained OGG streams are refused when writing.
  • Seekable streams. The stream methods need a stream that supports seeking.
  • Synchronous. The methods are synchronous; run them on a background thread in a UI application.
