ID3SynchronisedLyrics Class

This class represents synchronized lyrics that accompanies a media file.

Namespace: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs
Assembly: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.MediaProcessor (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.MediaProcessor.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic 
Public NotInheritable Class ID3SynchronisedLyrics _
	Inherits MetadataDictionary
C# 
public sealed class ID3SynchronisedLyrics : MetadataDictionary

Remarks

Synchronized lyrics are words, said or sung lyrics, or event descriptions, that are in sync with the audio. This ID3 field contains headers which can be used to identify the exact format of the lyrics. Values of the headers can be read via properties ContentType and TimestampFormat.

To read synchronized lyrics from some file, you should first read its MediaProcessorMetadataDictionary collection and then get the ID3SynchronisedLyrics which is contained there.

Examples

Visual Basic
'Get synchronized lyrics
Private Sub GetLyrics(ByVal metadata As MediaProcessorMetadataDictionary)
    'Check if lyrics are present
    If metadata.Contains(MediaProcessorMetadataDictionary.SynchronizedLyrics) Then
        Dim lyrics As ID3SynchronisedLyrics = CType(metadata _
            (MediaProcessorMetadataDictionary.SynchronizedLyrics), _
            ID3SynchronisedLyrics)
        'Process lyrics
        '...
        Return
    End If
    MessageBox.Show("Lyrics are absent", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
        MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Sub
C#
//Get synchronized lyrics
private void GetLyrics(MediaProcessorMetadataDictionary metadata)
{
    //Check if lyrics are present
    if (metadata.Contains(MediaProcessorMetadataDictionary.SynchronizedLyrics))
    {
        ID3SynchronisedLyrics lyrics = (ID3SynchronisedLyrics)metadata
            [MediaProcessorMetadataDictionary.SynchronizedLyrics];
        //Process lyrics
