7. INFO Metadata

7.1. Notes

INFO Metadata is a standard method for saving tagged text data in a WAV or AVI file. INFO fields are often read by the file explorer and host OS, and used in music library software.

bullet_path = '../tests/test_files/BULLET Impact Plastic LCD TV Screen Shatter Debris 2x.wav'

bullet = WavInfoReader(bullet_path)

print("INFO Artist:",    bullet.info.artist)
print("INFO Copyright:", bullet.info.copyright)
print("INFO Comment:",   bullet.info.comment)

7.1.1. String Encoding of INFO Metadata

Info metadata fields will be decoded using the string encoding passed to WavInfoReader's info_encoding= parameter, which by default is latin_1 (ISO 8859-1).

Note

cset character set/locale metadata is not supported. If it is present in the file it will be ignored by wavinfo.
