Php based app and mp3's
|
|
| Chuck Anderson 2007-07-23, 9:59 pm |
| This is off topic, as I'm sure what I'm looking for is not Php based,
but I thought someone here may know how I can work with mp3's from the
Windows command line (using Php exec, system, ...). I want to write a
web based app (for use on my own PC) to play mp3s ... a custom juke box
sort of thing with features that I can add as I see fit.
Basically, all I want to do is play them through my sound card, and be
able to display (perhaps edit) comment and label fields in the mp3 "header."
I see that Winamp has an API that will probably play audio files, but I
wondered if there was something more generic.
I have Googled for this information using phrases in many different
permutations, but I am not getting any useful results.
Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

You'll get a much better answer from a newsgroup dedicated to windows
and/or mp3s.

Hmmz, snd123 (<http://nanocrew.net/software/snd123/>, .NET required) or
mplayer an option?

You're right. I took my inquiry to comp.os.ms.programmers.win32.
I still want to ask her, though, about Php scripts to read the "header
and label" information in mp3 files. Does anyone know of any scripts or
classes that can do that?

The first thing I noticed about mplayer (if it's the same one) was that
it is 7MBs and plays video files, as well. It seems to me that there
ought to be a more basic little program that simply plays audio files.
I'll check it out some more, though.
I have also asked about this in a win32 programmers group, so we shall see.
I'm still interested in knowing if there is a Php script or class that
can read all the mp3 label and header data.

Try a Google search for "php mp3 id3" or something like that. There are
some classes available.

You can binary read any old file with PHP.
If you know the MP3 structure, you can parse out the tags.
Here's how one fellow did it:

PEAR has a couple of packages that might help: MP3_Id and MP3_IDv2.

I've written something similar in the past: a jukebox app with GUI and
telnet interfaces. Then I wrote a little PHP wrapper around the telnet
interface. Very nice.
I used Perl as CPAN has some really good modules for dealing with MP3s and
OGGs. I'd recommend switching languages for your project.

Okay. I've done some looking around and have decided that getid3() -
http://www.getid3.org/ - is the mp3 id tag reading/writing program I
like best.
It's a sourceforge project - written in Php - is all encompassing (id3v1
and id3v2 - audio and video files) - and it has great demos and
documentation. The demos make it very easy to understand.
It should be pretty simple to write a script to build a database of my
mp3 collection now.
Playing the mp3's, on the other hand, does not look like a simple matter
(unless I use the Winamp API).
