TagLib# is a .NET library for reading and writing metadata tags in media files, supporting video, audio, and image formats. It provides a unified API to read, write, and create standard or custom tags across many container formats.
Use cases
- read mp3 id3 tags in c#
- write metadata to video files like mkv or mp4
- edit flac vorbis comments programmatically
- extract duration and title from media files
- read exif metadata from jpeg photos
- add custom tag fields to ogg files
- tag a large music library from a .net app
When to choose
- you need a stable, format-agnostic metadata API in .NET
- you must handle audio, video, and image tags with one library
- you need custom tag field support across formats
When to avoid
- you need to decode or transcode media, not just metadata
- you work outside the .NET ecosystem
- you need streaming or network media metadata handling
