hi thomas,
I read:
- Has anyone done a port of readanysf~ for win32? And did anyone make an
external capable of running mp3s backward?
- dunno
1.5) I used alsaplayer for that (on linux, with jack), and I have the feeling that readanyfs~ will do it one day. august are you in vienna ? we could meet at the pure date and that would make up a nice afternoon project ;)
What I want(and need) is an object that translates a complete Mp3 into Pure-data compatible samples stored in the object (so a 3MB mp3 would fill up around 32Mb of sample data in an array inside of the object). Now the advantage of this aproach is that the data could be accessed as tabread4~ accesses array data (fast-forward, rewing would all be accessed by sendind a
the advantage would be none, if you want to 'access as tabread4~' then put it in a table, and keep in mind that pd's internal sample format is 32bit floats so a 1minute stereo file will be 60*srate*2*4 bytes.
signal of index values). The disadvange is the loading time (around 10 secs on a fast computer, that's why it needs to be threaded).
if you can wait for even longer (and you have enough ram to waste) you could record it into [a] table[s] using readanyfs~ or mp3play~ or whatever.
