    <p>I noticed the same issue on ICS (On Galaxy SII and Galaxy Tab II both running ICS 4.0.3). This seems to impact only mp3.</p> <p>I guess one of the solutions as William suggested would be to use an external library but I also prefer to use what android offers rather then external libraries.</p> <p>What bothers me is that I cannot find other posts reporting the same issue apart from this one. Though, I don't think I am doing it wrong:</p> <p>I have tried two solutions:</p> <pre><code>MediaMetadataRetriever mmdr = new MediaMetadataRetriever(); mmdr.setDataSource(path); String title = mmdr.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_TITLE); </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>File file = new File(path); FileInputStream inputStream; inputStream = new FileInputStream(file); mmdr = new MediaMetadataRetriever(); mmdr.setDataSource(inputStream.getFD()); inputStream.close(); String title = mmdr.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_TITLE); </code></pre> <p>MediaMetadataRetriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_TITLE) always retuns null.</p> <p>The path is correct and the mp3 file does have the ID3 tag with the title and everything.</p> <p>A solution that I thought of apart from using an external library would be to query the MediaStore on the file's path:</p> <pre><code>Cursor c = mContext.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, new String[] {MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE}, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[] { path }, null); String title; if(c!=null &amp;&amp; c.moveToFirst()) title = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE)) } </code></pre> <p>If the MediaScanner scanned it (it should have), the info should be there. This should also work for API levels before 10.</p> <p>Basically, what I do in my project is the following: If SDK version is &lt; 10 or the file's extension is mp3 and SDK version is 15, I query the MediaStore, otherwise I use MediaMetaDataRetriever.</p>

    1. COMediaMetadataRetriever doesn't work in my ICS too. But your solution with cursor does not work for me either... I get also `null`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
