NAME

Audio::Metadata - Manipulate metadata in audio files

DESCRIPTION

The aim of this module suite is to read and write metadata in various audio formats with minimum limitations and no dependencies on external libraries.

This module defines the API and implements common methods. Format-specific functionality is implemented in subclasses of Audio::Metadata, such as Audio::Metadata::Flac.

SYNOPSIS

my $metadata = Audio::Metadata->new_from_path('/home/user/audio/song.flac');
$metadata->set_var(artist => 'Joe Zawinul');
$metadata->save;
