MP3's 1

[PhoenixDown]

Are there any perl scripts made already which can play MP3 files on web pages?

My host doesn't support the MIME command. My MP3's are hosted on my computer.

There are several perl modules that allow you to edit mp3's (such as the id3 tags), but I don't believe any that let you play them.

I know there is a perl module that allows for you to play WAV files. Don't quote me on this, but I believe the author was updating the module to play mp3's as well.

You can go to

http://www.cpan.org

to download a module called Win32::Sound. Obviously, this only works on Win32 machines, so if your server is not one, then you are out of luck or will have to find an alternative.

Here is some code that will get you on your way:

[tt]
use Win32::Sound;

# Create the object
$WAV = new Win32::Sound::WaveOut(44100, 8, 2);

$data = "";
$counter = 0;
$increment = 440/44100;

# Generate 44100 samples ( = 1 second)
for $i (1..44100) {

# Calculate the pitch
# (range 0..255 for 8 bits)
$v = sin($counter/2*3.14) * 128 + 128;

# "pack" it twice for left and right
$data .= pack("cc", $v, $v);

$counter += $increment;
}

$WAV->Load($data); # get it
$WAV->Write(); # hear it
1 until $WAV->Status(); # wait for completion
$WAV->Save("sinus.wav" # write to disk
$WAV->Unload(); # drop it
[/tt]

Hope this helps.

Is there any way to convert MP3's to WAV format without making the file size over 500 KB??

I converted one and it was about 38 MB! :-(

Hmm, you might be able to find a converter that allows you to change the kbps as well, so lower kbps, lower filesize, and lower quality.

Yes, WAV files do tend to get quite large. Which is one of the reasons mp3's have flourished.

I think, and that is I THINK, music match jukebox will allow you to change the kbps. If not, then check

http://www.download.com

and search for mp32wav. I know there are programs out there that let you do it.

Hope this helps.

http://www.goldwave.com

is host to a program called GoldWave. It is "shareware", but you can use it for about 150 click per session before it starts nagging you to register, then you can save, exit, and reopen it and it won't bug you for another 150 clicks. It has a feature called "resample" that allows you to change the sample rate of wave files and stuff. It will open mp3's and convert them to wave, but you have to get a wav2mp3 converter to convert it back to an mp3.
