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.
Would that be file name, or artist name?
yes, file name. although as a general idea it's interesting to get any
field of the metadata.
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?
On Linux I'd simply run the sox or soxi command from the command line:
soxi *.mp3
and save its output to a textfile.
Afaik sox is available for Windows as well, perhaps take a look at
http://sox.sourceforge.net/SoX
yes, I imagine there is no other choice with current pd objects. which is
a pity, as mp3 support is far from ideal.
