Answer 2

hello

i have this code to extract mp3 alpum art

 Dim file = TagLib.File.Create(filename)
            If file.Tag.Pictures.Length >= 1 Then
                Dim bin = DirectCast(file.Tag.Pictures(0).Data.Data, Byte())
                Dim album_art As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(New MemoryStream(bin)).GetThumbnailImage(100, 100, Nothing, System.IntPtr.Zero)

and this code to change the album art

  Dim fi_le As TagLib.File = TagLib.File.Create(Form1.filename)
            fi_le.Tag.Clear()
            If fn <> Nothing Then
                Dim picture As TagLib.Picture = TagLib.Picture.CreateFromPath(fn)------------fn is the new albumart
                Dim albumCoverPictFrame As New TagLib.Id3v2.AttachedPictureFrame(picture)
                albumCoverPictFrame.MimeType = System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg
                albumCoverPictFrame.Type = TagLib.PictureType.FrontCover
                Dim pictFrames() As TagLib.IPicture = {albumCoverPictFrame}
                fi_le.Tag.Pictures = pictFrames
            End If

it works fine for mp3

but it Corrupt the .wav file so i'm thinking there must be  some thing to tell taglib# it's a wav file ?????

thank you much

 

Answer 3

Please take a look at this wiki page at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV

 

Metadata

As a derivative of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), WAV files can be tagged with metadata in the INFO chunk. In addition, WAV files can embed Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data. Applications may not handle this extra information or may expect to see it in a particular place. Although the RIFF specification requires applications ignore chunks they do not recognize, some applications are confused by additional chunks.

 

 

Limitations

...

...

 

Unlike formats like FLAC, WAV files don't usually have information fields, for instance, in the case of a song, title, artist, album, year, etc.
