Since Time and Cost are my masters, I'm all for free/inexpensive,
ready-built apps. Thanks for the heads up on JournURL. ID3
Integration would be sweet. I recall working with a helliker class
several years ago.
Here's a code snippet from way back if anyone is interested and can
find the class:
<CFOBJECT type="JAVA" action="CREATE" name="MP3File"
class="helliker.id3.MP3File">
<CFSET ret = MP3File.init("C:\MP3\test.mp3")>
<CFOUTPUT>
Exists? #MP3File.id3v1Exists()#<BR>
Is MP3? #MP3File.isMP3()#<BR>
File Size? <CFSET sizeMB = Round(((MP3File.getFileSize()/
1024)/1024))>#sizeMB# MB<BR>
File Name? #MP3File.getFileName()#<BR>
Play Time? #MP3File.getPlayingTimeString()#<BR>
Bitrate? #MP3File.getBitRate()#<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>
A search for helliker turns up this sourceforge MP3/ID3 project:
