ID3v1.1 tag is a method to store simple metadata in .mp3 files. The tag is appended to the end of file and spans exactly 128 bytes.
This type is supposed to be used on full .mp3 files, seeking to
proper position automatically. If you're interesting in parsing only
the tag itself, please use id3v1_1::id3_v1_1_tag subtype.
This page hosts a formal specification of ID3v1.1 tag for .mp3 files using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for C# generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C# runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The C# runtime library is available in the NuGet Gallery. Installation instructions can also be found there.
Parse a local file and get structure in memory:
var data = Id3v11.FromFile("path/to/local/file.mp3");
Or parse structure from a byte array:
byte[] someArray = new byte[] { ... };
var data = new Id3v11(new KaitaiStream(someArray));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing properties like:
data.Id3v1Tag // => get id3v1 tag
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
namespace Kaitai
