Method Detail

read

public Id3v2Tag read(RandomAccessFile raf)
              throws CannotReadException,
                     IOException

This method reads the given file and searches for an ID3V2 Tag. If it is found and there is a reader for that version, a ID3V2 tag will be created upon the contents.
Hint for developers:
Since ID3Flags is an instance variable of the reader and the array is passed without copying, this method must remain "synchronized" so no two threads would change this field of the current reader instance.

Parameters:

raf - The mp3 file containing the ID3V2 Tag.

Returns:

an ID3V2 tag representation.

Throws:

CannotReadException - If the file doesn't contain valid ID3V2 tag data.

IOException - On I/O errors.
