If you want it formatted or any of the information to be processed in any way, then just use something like python and the id3info program. If this is just a part of a larger project, then maybe id3info isn't the best option, but in the general case: don't reimplement if you don't need to. You could spend weeks writing and debugging such a program, or a couple of hours if you use python as the glue between the tools that you already have, or can have.
