Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

dart_tags is a pure Dart library for reading and writing music metadata tags, such as ID3, supporting various audio formats. It enables developers to manage metadata in Flutter, web, and VM applications without platform-specific dependencies. The library is lightweight, cross-platform, and ideal for apps requiring tag manipulation, like music players or audio editors. With straightforward APIs, it simplifies tasks like retrieving song titles, artists, album info, and adding custom tags. Its open-source nature allows for community contributions and transparency.

  • Building music player apps
  • Editing audio metadata
  • Creating audio management tools
  • Integrating with web-based audio platforms
