DESCRIPTION

MP3::Tag::Inf is designed to be called from the MP3::Tag module.

It parses the content of CDDB file.

The file is found in the same directory as MP3 file; the list of possible file names is taken from the field CWcddb_files if set by MP3::Tag config() method.

parse()
  ($title, $artist, $album, $year, $comment, $track) =
     $db->parse($what);
parse_filename() extracts information about artist, title, track number, album and year from the CDDB record. CW$what is optional; it maybe title, track, artist, album, year, genre or comment. If CW$what is defined parse() will return only this element. Additionally, CW$what can take values CWartist_collection (returns the value of artist in the disk-info field DTITLE, but only if author is specified in the track-info field TTITLE), CWtitle_track (returns the title specifically from track-info field - the CWtrack may fall back to the info from disk-info field), CWcomment_collection (processed EXTD comment), CWcomment_track (processed EXTT comment). The returned year and genre is taken from DYEAR, DGENRE, EXTT, EXTD fields; recognized prefixes in the two last fields are YEAR, ID3Y, ID3G. The declarations of this form are stripped from the returned comment. An alternative syntax Recorded/Recorded on/Recorded in/ is also supported; the format of the date recognized by ID3v2::year(), or just a date field without a prefix.

artist()

track()
 $track = $db->track();

year()
 $year = $db->year();

album()

Returns the album name, obtained from the CW'Albumtitle' entry of the file.
