By Saeed on Sep 26, 2007

A simple code to give you the mp3 length/position information of the currently playing mp3. See the in-code comments for more details about this snippet and how to use.

;;; mp3 length/pos statistics - Saeed * 2007 ;;;

/*

About: Returns the length or the position of a current mp3 in a basic time format. A pretty useful snippet for those who are building mp3 players. 

Usage: $inlength or $inpos or a combination of the two: $inposlen

*/

alias inlength { 
  if ($inmp3) {
    var %variable $calc($insong.length / 1000)
    return $gmt(%variable,nn:ss)
  }
}
alias inpos { 
  is ($inmp3) {
    var %variable $calc($insong.pos / 1000)  
    return $gmt(%variable,nn:ss)
  }
}

alias inposlen { 
  if ($inmp3) {
    var %a = $calc($insong.pos / 1000), %b = $calc($insong.length / 1000)  
    return $+($gmt(%a,nn:ss),$chr(47),$gmt(%b,nn:ss))
  }
}

I wouldn\'t expect too much of a code for this type of snippet. Sometimes being simple is enough, as to the 5 I think that is what this snippet deserves. I\'m glad you found this useful.

i found this pretty useful when making my quickmp3 player for myself but it is a really simple code 5/10

I don\'t think that the = matters when using the /var command. As to the $inmp3 part, you are probably right about that I will edit that right now. Thank you for your positive feedback.

var %variable $calc($insong.length / 1000)[/code[
shouldnt it be

var %variable = $calc($insong.length / 1000)

and is the halt necessary? cant u do

alias inlength {
if ($inmp3) {
var %variable $calc($insong.length / 1000)
return $gmt(%variable,nn:ss)
}
}


i may be wrong, so feel free to correct me

otherwise, i havent tested it, but it looks like it would work great, good job
