[UDF] Retrieve MP3 information

By Lazycat, in AutoIt Example Scripts

This is a rather raw version of UDF. Currently it's doesn't understand MPEG2 and MPEG2.5 files (need to add lookups for different types), but should work with most usual MP3's.

I'm tried to do something with the script in this topic. Although some ideas are usefull, it seems a bit hard to understand and realize by this way :ph34r:

Anyway, if you need it - please test it.

Hi Kot,

this is cool and if at least the TrackLengh Calculation will work that

would be fantastic. Only to calculate like in the VB script is not that

problem (me think), but what the hell is the mp3_pad ???

would be fantastic. Only to calculate like in the vb script: now it should support any MP3 (even VBR ones). But now I have not idea how to get length of VBR file.

$file = FileOpenDialog("Please select file", "", "MP3 files (*.mp3)");
if @error then Exit
$aData = _GetMP3Info($file)
if @error then Exit
$aLabel = StringSplit("MPEG Version: |Layer: |Bitrate: |Frequency: |Channel Mode: |Have CRC: |Copyright: |Original: ", "|")
Dim $out = ""
for $i = 0 to UBound($aData)-1
    $out = $out & $aLabel[$i+1] & $aData[$i] & @CR
next
MsgBox (0, "MP3 Data", $out)

Hi,

when i add the calculation from the VB script, it not exatly shows the

duration, but it's more then nothing :

$file = FileOpenDialog("Please select file", "", "MP3 files (*.mp3)");
if @error then Exit
$Filesize = FileGetSize($file)
$aData = _GetMP3Info($file)
if @error then Exit
$aLabel = StringSplit("MPEG Version: |Layer: |Bitrate: |Frequency: |Channel Mode: |Have CRC: |Copyright: |Original: |Duration (ms): ", "|")
Dim $out = ""
for $i = 0 to UBound($aData)-1
    $out = $out & $aLabel[$i+1] & $aData[$i] & @CR
next

I'm suspect that calculation is very rough (what the strange divisor 38.5?) - it usually give 1-3 seconds error. Try new version: seems this is more accurate.

$aData = _GetMP3Info($file)

Hi,

38.5 frames per second (out of the VB script), but U're Version is much

better, that's right. Now there is only one problem left :

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4402

When i call e.g. WinAMP, it just cut off after 40 parameters, but a AutoIt

script always crashed with a stack overflow.

Hi,

I got some errors with a few MP3 files, here the info out of winamp :

Size: 3593219 bytes

Header found at: 1723 bytes

Length: 64 seconds

MPEG 1.0 layer 1

448kbit, 1781 frames

32000Hz Stereo

CRCs: No

Copyrighted: No

Original: No

Emphasis: invalid

--> Duration : Unidentified

Size: 3477504 bytes

Header found at: 3127 bytes

MPEG 1.0 layer 3

128kbit, 8334 frames

44100Hz Stereo

CRCs: No

U're script end with error in this function :

Func _GetData(ByRef $array, $val)

If $val > UBound($array)-1 Then Return("Undefined")

Return ($array[$val+1])

EndFunc

Error: Array variable has incorrect number of substrings or subscript

dimension range exceeded.

Hi,

I tried this :

Func _GetData(ByRef $array, $val)

If ($val > UBound($array)-1) or ($val < 0) Then Return("Undefined")

MsgBox(0, "Val :", $val)

Return ($array[$val+1])

EndFunc

On a working MP3 I get e.g. this values :

0,9,3,1,0,0,0,1 or 3,15,3,3,3,0,1,1 or 0,9,3,1,0,0,1

At the special MP3 I got :

1

and then the script crashed ... Seems he had a prob with $array[2] ???

Thanks, I have revisited code.

Strange file, the first frames after v2 tag looks like normal, but contain wrong info (frame corrupt?) I put new check into frame search loop, so now it will search until first correct (possibly) frame appear. Now limit of search distance is 4096 bytes, after that error will be return.

I'm not sure that checking only MPEG version and layer will be enough for conclusion that frame is correct or corrupt, so please test it.

New version is here: http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/public/Kot/get_mp3_info.zip
