How do I get a song's artist, album, and cover art from AVURLAsset in iOS

I want to extract album name, artist name, cover art, and duration from a song using AVURLAsset in iOS 8.1.

So far I have:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[strSongPath stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
AVURLAsset* audioAsset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:url options:nil];

What are the details to put in after this?

Solution

  • Did you already checked audioAsset.commonMetadata ?

    This property will return an array of all available AVMetaDataItem objects for your initialized asset.

    Each item is representing exactly one available metadata property of your asset
