## NAME

Audio::Musepack - An object-oriented interface to Musepack file information and APE tag fields.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Audio::Musepack;
    my $mpc = Audio::Musepack->new("song.mpc");
    my $mpcInfo = $mpc->info();
    foreach (keys %$mpcInfo) {
        print "$_: $mpcInfo->{$_}\n";

## DESCRIPTION

This module returns a hash containing basic information about a Musepack file, as well as tag information contained in the Musepack file's APE tags.

## CONSTRUCTORS

- •

  new( `$filename` )

  Opens a Musepack file, ensuring that it exists and is actually an Musepack stream, then loads the information and comment fields.

## INSTANCE METHODS

- •

  info( \[$key\] )

  Returns a hashref containing information about the Musepack file from the file's information header.

  The optional parameter, key, allows you to retrieve a single value from the info hash.  Returns `"undef"` if the key is not found.

- •

  tags( \[$key\] )

  Returns a hashref containing tag keys and values of the Musepack file from the file's APE tags.

  The optional parameter, key, allows you to retrieve a single value from the tag hash.  Returns `"undef"` if the key is not found.

## NOTE

This module is now a wrapper around Audio::Scan.
