Quick start
Song metadata (no initialization)
Get full song details from a file path. Uses native Android MediaMetadataRetriever and iOS AVFoundation.
import 'package:music_feature_analyzer/music_feature_analyzer.dart';
// Single file
final song = await MusicFeatureAnalyzer.metadata('/path/to/song.mp3');
// song.title, song.artist, song.album, song.duration, song.bitrate, song.genre, etc.
// Multiple files
final songs = await MusicFeatureAnalyzer.extractMetadataBatch([
'/path/to/song1.mp3',
'/path/to/song2.m4a',
]);
AI features (initialize once)
Tempo, mood, instruments, energy, danceability, and more. Requires one-time initialize().
await MusicFeatureAnalyzer.initialize();
final features = await MusicFeatureAnalyzer.analyzeSong(song!);
// features.tempoBpm, features.mood, features.instruments, features.danceability, etc.
// Background processing (keeps UI responsive)
final results = await MusicFeatureAnalyzer.extractFeaturesInBackground(
filePaths,
onProgress: (current, total) => print('$current / $total'),
onSongUpdated: (path, features) => {},
onCompleted: () => print('Done'),
);

initialize() |
Load AI model. Required before analysis. |
analyzeSong(song) |
Analyze one SongModel; returns ExtractedSongFeatures?. |
analyzeSongs(songs) |
Analyze multiple songs. |
extractFeaturesInBackground(paths, ...) |
Run analysis in a separate isolate; optional durationMsByPath, progress and completion callbacks. |
verifyPlatformSetup() |
Check native setup (Android/iOS). |
getStats() |
Analysis statistics. |
getExtractionProgress(paths) |
Progress for background run. |
dispose() |
Release resources. |
How analysis works
- Metadata: Read directly from the file via native APIs. No model load.
- Short / unknown duration: One short segment from the middle.
- Duration ≥ 30 s: Three segments (middle of each third); numeric features averaged, genre/mood from highest-confidence segment.
- Background:
extractFeaturesInBackgroundruns in an isolate; duration is read from file metadata when not provided.
Requirements
- Flutter 3.0.0+, Dart 3.8.1+
- Android API 21+ · iOS 12.0+
- Platforms: Android and iOS only (no desktop or web).
Formats: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A, OGG, WMA, OPUS, AIFF, ALAC (and platform-supported formats).
