You need to build it and I think it’s works with processing

@matheplica, how would I get the mp3agic library into processing?  
Ive downloaded the .Zip form the github and I dont know what to do form there…

Edit: I think I got it after poorly installing maven and doing that stuff

2nd Edit: I now have 3 jar files that I dont know what to do with…  
they are all in the Documents/Processing/librarys/mp3agic/library folder and I dont know what to do from there as thats when the github wiki ends
