# NJB\_Get\_Extended\_Tags(3)

set library to retrieve extended tags

## NAME

NJB\_Get\_Extended\_Tags - set library to retrieve extended tags

## LIBRARY

libnjb

## SYNOPSIS

\#include \<libnjb.h\>

extern int njb\_error

void NJB\_Get\_Extended\_Tags (njb\_t \*njb, int extended)

## DESCRIPTION

The  **NJB\_Get\_Extended\_Tags** function will set up the NJB library so that it retrieves extended tag information from the jukebox (primarily the  3 series: Jukebox 2, 3, Zen, Zen NX, Zen Xtra etc.) when reading in tags.

The **extended** variable shall be set to  **0** to ignore the extended tags (default) or to **1** to make sure they are retrieved. The setting is done on a per- **njb\_t** object basis.

The extended information includes the original filename that the file had before being transfered to the NJB device.

Call this function on the  **njb\_t** identifier **before** any other track information retrieval operations.

This operation may be 20 times slower than the standard operation without extended tags, and is therefore optional.
