Question

Automatically trimming a mp3 in PHP

Hi

I am working on a project for a client that will involve the selling of mp3's.

The client would like to be able to simply upload the mp3 and the system will automatically generate a sample of the first 30 seconds of the full mp3.

Can this be done via code?

Thanks

Regards Gabriel

If you are using Linux as your production platform you might have to consider using approaches from http://www.go2linux.org/trim-cut-join-split-mp3-files-with-linux

Just call these comnmands from php via system or exec functions

This looks interesting too ... the class suggested here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1404969/automatically-trimming-a-mp3-in-php seems to do the job fine. Thanks anyways will keep this in mind just in case. – Gabriel Spiteri Apr 25 '11 at 09:07

Yes and no...

Yes : Php could call a simple binary which do the job (params included) with exec() or passthru().

And No : php isn't able (whitout extension) to process mp3 files. I had the same problem with videos: i used ffmpeg (Linux command line processing program for videos) launched thru php in order to generate 30sec samples and screenshots.

I guess you can always program mp3 splitter in pure PHP so it can be used without additional extensions, but this will cost a lot of time and efforts ;) – Konstantin Apr 25 '11 at 08:35
