hi, this is way off topic, but maybe someone can help... i'm looking for a script or prog that gives me info on a mp3-file, like what mpg123 shows when starting up plus some tech details like size, time, frequency etc. i've tried perl-MP3-Info, but it doesn't know about album, title, artist etc. i want to use it for fetching as much info as possible from a file into a database. any other suggestion how to do it is also appreciated, thanks i.a., uno --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

this is way off topic, but maybe someone can help... i'm looking for a script or prog that gives me info on a mp3-file, like what mpg123 shows when starting up plus some tech details like size, time, frequency etc. There is a program called mp3info that does this; I thought it was included with some Linuxes. Use the -F option for different formats, some of them have a ridiculous amount of info, e.g.: root@home:icecast>mp3info -F 1 /mp3/napster/phish/ph1991-11-01-destiny.mp3 Destiny Unbound|Phish|11-1-1991|1991||Rock|0|2|III|0|128|22050|j-stereo|0|1|5|35|335|/mp3/napster/phish/ph1991-11-01-destiny.mp3|5361391 Mark --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

The perl MP3-Info module will give you anything you want from the id3 tag, including artist, title, etc. If you're not a perl programmer, you might want to look for a script called 'mpi' that makes a nice command-line frontend to the module.
