NAME

       MP3::Tag::CDDB_File - Module for parsing CDDB files.

SYNOPSIS

	 my $db = MP3::Tag::CDDB_File->new($filename, $track); # Name of audio file
	 my $db = MP3::Tag::CDDB_File->new_from($record, $track); # Contents of CDDB

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

       see MP3::Tag

DESCRIPTION

       MP3::Tag::CDDB_File is designed to be called from the MP3::Tag module.

       It parses the content of CDDB file.

       The file is found in the same directory as audio file; the list of possible file names is taken from the field "cddb_files" if set by
       MP3::Tag config() method.

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

	   parse_filename() extracts information about artist, title, track number, album and year from the CDDB record.  $what is optional; it
	   maybe title, track, artist, album, year, genre or comment. If $what is defined parse() will return only this element.

	   Additionally, $what can take values "artist_collection" (returns the value of artist in the disk-info field DTITLE, but only if author
	   is specified in the track-info field TTITLE), "title_track" (returns the title specifically from track-info field - the "track" may
	   fall back to the info from disk-info field), "comment_collection" (processed EXTD comment), "comment_track" (processed EXTT comment).

	   The returned year and genre is taken from DYEAR, DGENRE, EXTT, EXTD fields; recognized prefixes in the two last fields are YEAR, ID3Y,
	   ID3G.  The declarations of this form are stripped from the returned comment.

	   An alternative syntax "Recorded"/"Recorded on"/"Recorded in"/ is also supported; the format of the date recognized by ID3v2::year(), or
	   just a date field without a prefix.

       title()
	    $title = $db->title();

	   Returns the title, obtained from the 'Tracktitle' entry of the file.

       artist()
	    $artist = $db->artist();

	   Returns the artist name, obtained from the 'Performer' or 'Albumperformer' entries (the first which is present) of the file.

       track()
	    $track = $db->track();

	   Returns the track number, stored during object creation, or queried from the parent.

       year()
	    $year = $db->year();

	   Returns the year, obtained from the 'Year' entry of the file.  (Often not present.)

       album()
	    $album = $db->album();

	   Returns the album name, obtained from the 'Albumtitle' entry of the file.

       comment()
	    $comment = $db->comment();

	   Returns the 'Trackcomment' entry of the file.  (Often not present.)

       genre()
	    $genre = $db->genre($filename);

id3_get_tag - Get all information stored in an ID3 tag

SYNOPSIS

       array id3_get_tag (string  $filename, [int  $version = ID3_BEST])

DESCRIPTION

       id3_get_tag(3) is used to get all information stored in the id3 tag of the specified file.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- The path to the MP3 file  Instead of a filename you may also pass a valid stream resource

	      o $version
		-  Allows you to specify the version of the tag as MP3 files may contain both, version 1.x and version 2.x tags  Since version 0.2
		id3_get_tag(3) also supports ID3 tags of version 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4. To extract information from these tags, pass one  of  the  con-
		stants ID3_V2_2, ID3_V2_3 or ID3_V2_4 as the second parameter. ID3 v2.x tags can contain a lot more information about the MP3 file
		than ID3 v1.x tags.

RETURN VALUES
