# Get Media Metadata

This **Node** can be used to get the metadata of a **Media** **Object**. It has two different versions depending on the `Input Type` chosen. Find in the tabs below the documentation for all versions.

{% tab title="Object" %}

## Overview

![The Get Media Metadata Node.](/files/xUov2FkoT4Frep8P3d2h)

The **Get Media Metadata Node** returns the *ID3* *metadata* from hard drive media, such as *.mp3* files, in **Dictionary** format. More information on *ID3* can be found [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3). Please note that videos do not have *metadata* and thus are not compatible with this **Node**.

*ID3 tags* can be investigated more in depth [here](https://exiftool.org/TagNames/ID3.html).

[**Scope**](/incari-studio/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.
