(This function is part of SDL_mixer, a separate library from SDL.)

Mix_GetMusicTitle

Get the title for a music object, or its filename.

Header File

Syntax

const char* Mix_GetMusicTitle(const Mix_Music *music);

Function Parameters

const Mix_Music *

music

the music object to query, or NULL for the currently-playing music.

Return Value

(const char *) Returns the music's title if available, or the filename if not, or "".

Remarks

This returns format-specific metadata. Not all file formats supply this!

If music is NULL, this will query the currently-playing music.

If music's title tag is missing or empty, the filename will be returned. If you'd rather have the actual metadata or nothing, use Mix_GetMusicTitleTag() instead.

Please note that if the music was loaded from an SDL_IOStream instead of a filename, the filename returned will be an empty string ("").

This function never returns NULL! If no data is available, it will return an empty string ("").

Version

This function is available since SDL_mixer 3.0.0.
