mp3 file format

I want to know the version of a mp3 file format.

What should I do?

I am reading file properties with java programs

Solution

  • The website wotsit.org has specifications and descriptions of file formats. Wikipedia is also often a good starting point. Read MP3 on Wikipedia.

    If your goal is just to read the metadata from MP3 files (track title, artist name, etc.): That information is stored in ID3 tags inside the file. There are several Java libraries available for reading ID3 tags. Google for "java id3" and you'll find them.
