# go-mp4tag
MP4 tagging library & CLI tagger written in Go.
[Windows, Linux, macOS and Android binaries](https://github.com/Sorrow446/go-mp4tag/releases)
## Library
### Setup
```
go get github.com/Sorrow446/go-mp4tag
```
```go
import "github.com/Sorrow446/go-mp4tag"
```
### Usage Examples
```go
tags := &mp4tag.Tags{
Album: "album",
AlbumArtist: "album artist",
Title: "title",
TrackNumber: 1,
TrackTotal: 20,
Genre: "genre",
DiskNumber: 3,
DiskTotal: 10,
Comment: "comment",
}
err := mp4tag.Write("1.m4a", tags)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
```
Write album, album artist, title, track number, track total, genre, disk number, disk total, and comment tags.
```go
tags := &mp4tag.Tags{
Custom: map[string]string{
"CUSTOMFIELD": "custom field",
"CUSTOMFIELD2": "custom field 2",
},
Delete: []string{"cover", "genre"},
}
err := mp4tag.Write("1.m4a", tags)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
```
Write two custom fields named `CUSTOMFIELD` and `CUSTOMFIELD2`, delete genre tag, and remove cover.
```go
coverBytes, err := ioutil.ReadFile("cover.jpg")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
tags := &mp4tag.Tags{
Cover: coverBytes,
}
err = mp4tag.Write("1.m4a", tags)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
```
Write cover from `cover.jpg`.

## Thank you
go-mp4tag relies heavily on abema's go-mp4 library.

Although go-mp4tag has been thoroughly tested, I will not be responsible for the very tiny chance of any corruption to your MP4 files.
