MP3::Tag::Inf(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

MP3::Tag::Inf — bestie, this is the module that parses those .inf files that hang out next to your music tracks 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so literally all you do is this:

  my $mp3inf = MP3::Tag::Inf->new($filename);   # Name of MP3 or .INF file
                                                # or an MP3::Tag::File object

  ($title, $artist, $album, $year, $comment, $track) = $mp3inf->parse();

and then you go peek at MP3::Tag too, iykyk 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

MP3::Tag::Inf is built to be called from the MP3::Tag module. That's its whole job. Its moment. Its main character era 👑

It parses the content of a .inf file (the kind that gets created, e.g., by cdda2wav).

💖 parse() 💖

  ($title, $artist, $album, $year, $comment, $track) =
     $mp3inf->parse($what);

So parse_filename() pulls info about artist, title, track number, album and year out of the .inf file ✨

$what is optional — it can be title, track, artist, album, year or comment. If $what is defined, then parse() returns only that one element. Just the one. No extras. Very demure, very mindful 🎀

And here's the side quest: as a side effect of this call, $mp3inf->{info} gets set to the hash reference with the content of particular elements of the .inf file 🫶

Typically present are these fields:

  CDINDEX_DISCID
  CDDB_DISCID
  MCN
  ISRC
  Albumperformer
  Performer
  Albumtitle
  Tracktitle
  Tracknumber
  Trackstart
  Tracklength
  Pre-emphasis
  Channels
  Copy_permitted
  Endianess
  Index

and these fields are also recognized:

  Year
  Trackcomment

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

not me having to tell you this but... the document above had some coding errors, and here they are explained below 😭

Around line 30:

    =over without closing =back

like, the =over never got its =back. it's giving abandoned. it's giving unfinished business 🙈
