Get Meta Data by Damien Di Fede. This sketch demonstrates how to use the <code>getMetaData</code> method of <code>AudioPlayer</code>. This method is also available for <code>AudioSnippet</code> and <code>AudioSample</code>. You should use this method when you want to retrieve metadata about a file that you have loaded, like ID3 tags from an mp3 file. If you load WAV file or other non-tagged file, most of the metadata will be empty, but you will still have information like the filename and the length. 

  
  
  import ddf.minim.*;
  
  Minim minim;
  AudioPlayer groove;
  AudioMetaData meta;
  
  void setup()
  {
    size(512, 256, P3D);
    
    minim = new Minim(this);
    groove = minim.loadFile("groove.mp3");
    meta = groove.getMetaData();
    
    textFont( loadFont("serif.vlw") );
    textMode(SCREEN);
  }
  
  int ys = 15;
  int yi = 15;
  
  void draw()
  {
    background(0);
    int y = ys;
    text("File Name: " + meta.fileName(), 5, y);
    text("Length (in milliseconds): " + meta.length(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Title: " + meta.title(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Author: " + meta.author(), 5, y+=yi); 
    text("Album: " + meta.album(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Date: " + meta.date(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Comment: " + meta.comment(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Track: " + meta.track(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Genre: " + meta.genre(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Copyright: " + meta.copyright(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Disc: " + meta.disc(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Composer: " + meta.composer(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Orchestra: " + meta.orchestra(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Publisher: " + meta.publisher(), 5, y+=yi);
    text("Encoded: " + meta.encoded(), 5, y+=yi);
  }
  
  void stop()
  {
    // always close Minim audio classes when you are done with them
    groove.close();
    // always stop Minim before exiting
    minim.stop();
    
    super.stop();
  }
