[SOLVED]Displaying Music info
« on: November 16, 2013, 02:34:39 pm »
Hello

Suppose I want to create a simple audio player using SFML, is it possible to display audio info like artist, album, year, etc. as with Windows Media player or others?

Thanks

EDIT:
Are Mp3 files also supported in SFML? And can you please tell all the formats supported?

Yes you can display the information, just use sf::Font and sf::Text  ;)

On a more serious note, if you are talking about reading the meta tag information from the audio files you will need to find something other than SFML to read that. Either another library or OS specific code.
Motion / MotionNET - Complete video / audio playback for SFML / SFML.NET

NetEXT - An SFML.NET Extension Library based on Thor

Mp3 is not supported as stated in the tutorial. All the other formats can be found in the documentation. ;)
