Hello,
I couldn't find an answer for this, so I doubt there is one: I have 100s of mp3 files, from which I needed to extract data - namely name, and duration. As I can tell, there isn't any object that does this, e.g. like [ext13/wavinfo] (hopefully I'm wrong). Does anyone has an elegant solution for this? Or I guess I could get the elements using an other program and save them as .txt files, but it would be much more interesting to do it inside Pd.
System: Pd-Ext, W7.
There is [readanysf~ ] that gives you the correct length of an mp3, but I don't know about its availability on Windows.
I found the exiftool the best tool suited for this task. Google tells me, it is even available as a Windows binary. It determines the length correctly, no matter whether compressed as vbr or cbr.
