Prasing ID3 tag with Node.js - sfu-innovation/big-data GitHub Wiki

There aren't many media Library for Node.js yet. I have tried number of methods today. This is the best I found so far.

https://github.com/Tim-Smart/node-id3

npm install

node test/basic.js

The demo shows it works with ID3v1 ID3v2 and ID4. It can read album cover from ID3v2 as well. (Will generate a image file called "test")

Additionally, there are some way to read tags from client side using HTML5 file API. But it has many limitations. See:
