Detailed Description

ID3v2 frame implementation.

This class is the main ID3v2 frame implementation. In ID3v2, a tag is split between a collection of frames (which are in turn split into fields (id3v2.4.0-structure.txt, 4) (id3v2.4.0-frames.txt). This class provides an API for gathering information about and modifying ID3v2 frames. Functionality specific to a given frame type is handled in one of the many subclasses.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~Frame()

virtual TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::~Frame ( )
virtual

Destroys this Frame instance.

◆ Frame() [1/3]

TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::Frame ( const Frame & )
delete

◆ Frame() [2/3]

TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::Frame ( const ByteVector & data)
explicitprotected

Constructs an ID3v2 frame using data to read the header information. All other processing of data should be handled in a subclass.

Note
This need not contain anything more than a frame ID, but must contain at least that.

◆ Frame() [3/3]

TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::Frame ( Header * h)
protected

This creates a Frame using the header h.

The ownership of this header will be assigned to the frame and the header will be deleted when the frame is destroyed.

Member Function Documentation

◆ asProperties()

virtual PropertyMap TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::asProperties ( ) const
protectedvirtual

◆ checkTextEncoding()

String::Type TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::checkTextEncoding ( const StringList & fields,
String::Type encoding ) const
protected

Checks the list of string values to see if they can be used with the specified encoding and returns the recommended encoding. This method also checks the ID3v2 version and makes sure the encoding can be used in the version specified by the frame's header.

◆ fieldData()

ByteVector TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::fieldData ( const ByteVector & frameData) const
protected

Returns a ByteVector containing the field data given the frame data. This correctly adjusts for the header size plus any additional frame data that's specified in the frame header flags.

◆ frameID()

ByteVector TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::frameID ( ) const

◆ frameIDToKey()

static String TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::frameIDToKey ( const ByteVector & )
static

Returns a free-form tag name for the given ID3 frame ID. Note that this does not work for general frame IDs such as TXXX or WXXX; in such a case an empty string is returned.

◆ header()

Header * TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::header ( ) const

Returns a pointer to the frame header.

◆ headerSize()

unsigned int TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::headerSize ( ) const

Returns the size of the frame header

◆ keyToFrameID()

static ByteVector TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::keyToFrameID ( const String & )
static

Returns an appropriate ID3 frame ID for the given free-form tag key. This method will return an empty ByteVector if no specialized translation is found.

◆ operator=()

Frame & TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::operator= ( const Frame & )
delete

◆ parse()

void TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::parse ( const ByteVector & data)
protected

Called by setData() to parse the frame data. It makes this information available through the public API.

◆ parseFields()

◆ readStringField()

String TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::readStringField ( const ByteVector & data,
String::Type encoding,
int * position = nullptr )
protected

Reads a String of type encoding from the ByteVector data. If position is passed in it is used both as the starting point and is updated to return the position just after the string that has been read. This is useful for reading strings sequentially.

◆ render()

ByteVector TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::render ( ) const

Render the frame back to its binary format in a ByteVector.

◆ renderFields()

◆ setData()

void TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::setData ( const ByteVector & data)

Sets the data that will be used as the frame. Since the length is not known before the frame has been parsed, this should just be a pointer to the first byte of the frame. It will determine the length internally and make that available through size().

◆ setHeader()

void TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::setHeader ( Header * h,
bool deleteCurrent = true )
protected

Sets the header to h. If deleteCurrent is true, this will free the memory of the current header.

The ownership of this header will be assigned to the frame and the header will be deleted when the frame is destroyed.

◆ setText()

virtual void TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::setText ( const String & text)
virtual

Set the text of frame in the sanest way possible. This should only be reimplemented in frames where there is some logical mapping to text.

Note
If the frame type supports multiple text encodings, this will not change the text encoding of the frame; the string will be converted to that frame's encoding. Please use the specific APIs of the frame types to set the encoding if that is desired.

Reimplemented in TagLib::ID3v2::CommentsFrame, TagLib::ID3v2::TextIdentificationFrame, TagLib::ID3v2::UnsynchronizedLyricsFrame, TagLib::ID3v2::UrlLinkFrame, and TagLib::ID3v2::UserTextIdentificationFrame.

◆ size()

unsigned int TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::size ( ) const

Returns the size of the frame.

◆ splitProperties()

static void TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::splitProperties ( const PropertyMap & original,
PropertyMap & singleFrameProperties,
PropertyMap & tiplProperties,
PropertyMap & tmclProperties )
staticprotected

This helper function splits the PropertyMap original into three ProperytMaps singleFrameProperties, tiplProperties, and tmclProperties, such that:

  • singleFrameProperties contains only of keys which can be represented with exactly one ID3 frame per key. In the current implementation this is everything except for the fixed "involved people" keys and keys of the form "TextIdentificationFrame::instrumentPrefix" + "instrument", which are mapped to a TMCL frame.
  • tiplProperties will consist of those keys that are present in TextIdentificationFrame::involvedPeopleMap()
  • tmclProperties contains the "musician credits" keys which should be mapped to a TMCL frame

◆ textDelimiter()

static ByteVector TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::textDelimiter ( String::Type t)
static

Returns the text delimiter that is used between fields for the string type t.

◆ toString()

◆ toStringList()

virtual StringList TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::toStringList ( ) const
virtual

This returns the textual representation of the data in the frame. Subclasses can reimplement this method to provide a string list representation of the frame's data. The default implementation returns the single string representation from toString().

Reimplemented in TagLib::ID3v2::AttachedPictureFrame, TagLib::ID3v2::GeneralEncapsulatedObjectFrame, TagLib::ID3v2::OwnershipFrame, TagLib::ID3v2::PopularimeterFrame, and TagLib::ID3v2::TextIdentificationFrame.

Member Data Documentation

◆ commentPrefix

const String TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::commentPrefix
static

The PropertyMap key prefix which triggers the use of a COMM frame instead of a TXXX frame for a non-standard key. In the current implementation, this is "COMMENT:".

◆ instrumentPrefix

const String TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::instrumentPrefix
static

The string with which an instrument name is prefixed to build a key in a PropertyMap; used to translate PropertyMaps to TMCL frames. In the current implementation, this is "PERFORMER:".

◆ lyricsPrefix

const String TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::lyricsPrefix
static

The PropertyMap key prefix which triggers the use of a USLT frame instead of a TXXX frame for a non-standard key. In the current implementation, this is "LYRICS:".

◆ urlPrefix

const String TagLib::ID3v2::Frame::urlPrefix
static

The PropertyMap key prefix which triggers the use of a WXXX frame instead of a TXX frame for a non-standard key. In the current implementation, this is "URL:".
