NAME

MP3::Album::Track - Perl extension to manage a "physical" track of a mp3 album.

SYNOPSIS

        use MP3::Album::Track;

        #create a track object
        $track = MP3::Album::Track->new(filename=>$path_to_mp3_file);

        #set it's mp3 tag
        $track->set_tag(title=>'i dont know why');      

        #rename it!
        $track->rename(filename=>$path_to_new_file);

DESCRIPTION

Manages a mp3 album track. Gets and sets mp3 file info.

PUBLIC METHODS

All the methods return undef in error case. The error description is stored in $@.

$t = new(filename=>$filename)

Creates a new MP3::Album::Track track using $filename.

$filename = $t->filename()

Returns the filename of the track.

$br = $t->bitrate()

Returns the encoding bitrate of this track.

$fq = $t->frequency()

Returns the encoding frequency for this track.

$result = $t->set_tag([title => $title, artist => $artist, album => $album, year => $year, comment => $comment, genre => $genre])

Sets the tag of the mp3 file according to the passed parameters. If you don't pass one or more of the parameters they will be empty on the tag. I'm thinking of a parameter to maintain the previous value on a tag field but i am not sure if that is the proper approach.

$result = $t->rename( filename => $new_filename [,keep_copy=>$boo])

Renames this track to a new filename. If you pass a true "keep_copy" value the track will be copied instead of moved. In any case the object filename property will be set to the new file name.

PRIVATE METHODS

Documented as being not documented.
