# 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.

## Overview

![The Get Media Metadata Node.](https://1553081948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FU990HLHWA30dTfELtDUK%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a5913c0b353a6fce26fef3832afd88c0298b1779%2Fgetmediametadatanode20241.png?alt=media)

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**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/overview#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.
