You might be right Jackie.  I'm not sure how to guess how many desktop systems 
there are without Quicktime installed so it might not be an issue.

The overall goal is to display a progress circle like the one Fetch uses while 
a sound is playing.  The idea is the circle will make one complete trip for the 
duration of the sound.

Dar, nice ideas and very interesting but the user will be supplying the audio 
files so I'm not sure how that would work out.  I'm currently looking into the 
link Warren supplied to Media Info although I'm not sure how I'll tie it into 
my standalone.

Hi Ray,

I maintain one app that has mediaInfo in the app bundle, and the app uses shell() to run it as needed. So that's one option on the Mac at least.

Can you say what the goal is? Maybe there's another way to do it.

All Macs have QT. If a Windows user doesn't, Media Player should run and the 
same functions should be available as long as you're using player objects. I'm 
not sure about Linux, I hear there are some issues with players there.
