Get the title attribute from an mp3 file

Question

Problem I want to display file properties like title and author of an mp3 from:

mp3 information

I have tried using http://javamusictag.sourceforge.net/ but it doesnt actually get the information input into the properties details (see picture). How do I get that information such as the 'Test Song' by 'John Smith'? Of course I have the file available on java:

File file = new File(path);

Thanks in anticipation! If you need more info just ask.

ps: I looked at this and it doesn't work or I don't understand it (summary question)

@SotiriosDelimanolis how do I access those parts of the format? — Cobbles, Jan 01 '14 at 18:32
You'll have to look at the file format and figure out which bytes give this information. There might already be a Java library that does this. — Sotirios Delimanolis, Jan 01 '14 at 18:33
Any ideas how to do this? What about this: AudioFormat.getProperty("Title");? — Cobbles, Jan 01 '14 at 19:55
How would one get the title of a file? `String a = (String)Files.getAttribute(path, "Title", LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS);` — Cobbles, Jan 01 '14 at 20:17
I used [jaudiotagger](http://www.jthink.net/jaudiotagger/) before and it seemed to work well. — phury, Jan 02 '14 at 14:34

The spec for this is at id3.org. Version 2.3 is probably sufficient for most of the files you will ever look at...
