Single metadata interface?

[slimsag]

I do not know for sure yet, but I imagine most audio files share similar metadata that we could provide a single interface to within the audio package.

I actually was going to request this feature, if you mean metadata in the form of tags, sample rate, bitrate, etc.

I actually did some work on a native Go tagging package, and I'd be happy to contribute what I've learned! https://github.com/mdlayher/taggolib

This issue would be just about metadata tags (i.e. author, title, track number, etc).

For bitrate I've made #8.

For sample rate and number of channels you can just look at the decoder's configuration:

dec, _, err := audio.NewDecoder(r)
handle(err)

conf := dec.Config()
fmt.Println("Sample Rate: %d Channels: %d\n", conf.SampleRate, conf.Channels)

Cool! Yeah, metadata tags would be perfect. Vorbis tags, at least, are very easy to parse. ID3 is a lot less sane.
