output audio info such as duration, file size, bit rate

[iBuddy]

I been trying to find info on how to do this, is the only solution getid3?

I have ffmpeg, ffmpeg-php, lame installed on my server...is there some easy code I can do to output this info for a audio file?

thanks

I have used MP3info for this. With this you can fetch(and also edit) the tag info and get the file properties(lenght, bitrate etc.).

example usage:

exec('mp3info -x acidjazz.mp3',$out);
print_r($out);

EDIT: blah.. That getID3 is much better solution. Use it 🙂

You also can use more stable library's such like getID3().
