rust-mp4ameta

A library for reading and writing iTunes style MPEG-4 audio metadata. Most commonly this kind of metadata is found inside m4a or m4b files but basically any mp4 container supports it.

Examples

The easy way

```rust let mut tag = mp4ameta::Tag::readfrompath("music.m4a").unwrap();

println!("{}", tag.artist().unwrap());

tag.setartist("artist"); tag.writeto_path("music.m4a").unwrap(); ```

The hard way

```rust use mp4ameta::{Data, Fourcc, Tag};

let mut tag = Tag::readfrompath("music.m4a").unwrap(); let artist_ident = Fourcc(*b"\xa9ART");

let artist = tag.string(&artist_ident).next().unwrap(); println!("{}", artist);

tag.setdata(artistident, Data::Utf8("artist".toowned())); tag.writeto_path("music.m4a").unwrap(); ```

Using freeform identifiers

```rust use mp4ameta::{Data, FreeformIdent, Tag};

let mut tag = Tag::readfrompath("music.m4a").unwrap(); let isrc_ident = FreeformIdent::new("com.apple.iTunes", "ISRC");

let isrc = tag.string(&isrc_ident).next().unwrap(); println!("{}", isrc);

tag.setdata(isrcident, Data::Utf8("isrc".toowned())); tag.writeto_path("music.m4a").unwrap(); ```
