ID3 Parser

This is a pure ID3 parser based upon getID3. It supports the following ID3 versions inside MP3 files:, _(*1)

• ID3v1 (v1.0 & v1.1)
• ID3v2 (v2.2, v2.3 & v2.4)

Usage

<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$analyzer = new \ID3Parser\ID3Parser();
$tags = $analyzer->analyze('/tmp/myfile.mp3'));

Why should I use this package over getID3 directly?

getID3 has evolved to a state where it is having a lot of other features such as parsing a ton of other file formats and for some of it, it is even invoking external programs on the server. For example it is nowadays even supporting SVG files., _(*2)

Such a big parsing library can easily be haunted by security related bugs as for example CVE-2014-2053 and some other vulnerabilities have proven. This library takes the ID3 parsing code from getID3 and strips all other functions., _(*3)

In cases where reading the ID3v2 tags is sufficient this library is likely to be a more secure approach, if you need any of the advanced features of getID3 however you're likely to be unhappy with this library., _(*4)
