Setting audio file media metadata in Android (ID3)

Question

I am trying to find out if there is a way to set media metadata (mainly ID3 such as artist, album, song, ...) on an anudio file in Android.

I have noticed that it is possible to retrieve such information using MediaMetadataRetriever but cannot find out a way to set it.

Can you please help? Is it possible?

You could use the DataStorage to get a File-Object from the MP3-File you want to edit and then use a ID3-Tag Library like Jaudiotagger to edit the ID3-Tags.

Well, I actually found the resource as well and was looking at the code. But thanks. Flagged it as answer. – Aliostad May 16 '11 at 13:08
Do you know perhaps about other audio files formats? I need to know about reading&modifying metadata of supported files formats that can be recorded. I've written about it here: http://stackoverflow.com/q/36473337/878126 – android developer Apr 07 '16 at 13:34

From the CLI, you can use id3ed. Just build it using Android's NDK, then you can use adb debug bridge to access the shell.

I think you have to use a third party library
