gotta use onID3 to get the duration of a streaming mp3. I've had isses with that though myself. I know that the ID3 tags in the the mp3 need to be v2 inorder to be read from flash. I made an mp3 player and no mater what i did, that duration property of the ID3 object returned would always be undefined. If anyone has some tips on which encoders that inject the duration property, please let me know because iTunes sure doesn't do it.
