Name

audio_to_xml — extract metadata from audio data and return it as XML

Synopsis

any audio_to_xml( in data varchar,
  in length integer,
  in type integer);
 

Description

Decodes the audio container in data (the first length bytes) and returns its tag and stream metadata as an XML entity. type selects the expected format family: ID3 (MP3), FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, or WAVE/RIFF. The returned XML uses element names matching the tag-frame identifiers of the source format (e.g. TIT2, TPE1 for ID3v2; TITLE, ARTIST for Vorbis comments).

Useful for indexing audio uploaded into a WebDAV folder or stored in BLOB columns without going through an external metadata tool.
